Feeling thankful
Sometimes....at totally random times...when the house is quiet and I am sitting here alone...I feel thankful. It is so easy to become wrapped up in the stress of the work week. But right now, I am staring at my sleeping puppy and feel totally thankful.
I am thankful for my family. My beautiful sister. My kind brother. My amazing parents. I feel so lucky to have the relationships that I do with each one of them. I always look forward to when we are all together and always enjoy our time shared.
My friends. I am grateful for my friends. At this time in my life, I can honestly say, I have the most friends than I have ever had before. High school friends, college friends, work friends, internet friends. Not everyone has wonderful people in their lives that they can count on. I have so much love and support and consider myself lucky.
And my little family. My wonderful husband and darling puppy. They make my world go round. I need them. It is so nice to know that you have someone on your side at all times to support you, cuddle with you, or give you a kiss (or lick). My heart feels so full right now.
I love quiet Sundays and moments like right now. Where I can sit and reflect, feel thankful for the life I live, and appreciate what is coming my way down the road.
I hope everyone had a great weekend :)
Beautiful post. I have been trying to remind myself to count my blessings lately. I definitely found myself reflecting on the same things this weekend. Well said, Lauren.
Great post Lauren.
Thank YOU, Lauren, I really needed that. I'm sitting here feeling upset and anxious about a combination of work and school, and you've reminded me that everything will work out. I have a lot to be thankful for, and a bad day is not the end of the world. Thanks!
Thanks for the reminder to reflect and be thankful, Lauren :-)
Love this post....thank you. I for one, definitely needed to read something like this today.
It's always nice to step back and feel content. Keep up this mindset as long as you can!
aw, i love this post!
Great post, Lauren. It really is so important to take a step back.
I personally adore moments like that.
