Polka Dots and Snakeskin

Today I am thankful for simple and pretty things.  Like my polka dot heels.  And the single rose that my husband gave to me that's in a vase on the table.  And the fact that he is so gracious and let's me experiment with my crafts and glitter anything I want.  And the new baking dish that I got in this awesome minty color.  And I also love the Christmas lights that we put up on our patio {oh yes we already did!}.  Today, I just want to enjoy and soak up the little things.  After all, if we don't appreciate those, then how can we truly appreciate anything else?

Participating in Thankful November?  Remember to let me know so I can read about it! Let others know too so that we can all be thankful together. :)

Laughter

Some days you just need a good laugh.  Or the ability to laugh at yourself.  And no matter the situation, I believe that being able to laugh will help you to feel even a little bit better.  So obviously today I am thankful for laughter.  

Remember to laugh today.  It just might make your day a little bit better.  

Sunshine

There is nothing like a good dose of sunshine to warm this girl's heart right to the core.  I've always been one who leans toward liking warm weather more than that cooler stuff.  I can't stand being cold.  That being said, I'm so thankful for this mini heat wave that we've been getting in Southern Cali.  The sunshine keeps me motivated and want to get things done.  I even went to our pool to soak it all up before it begins to cool off.  Nothing like a good dose of vitamin D to get me going.

Thankful November

 

Because this month is Thanksgiving, I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and participate in Thankful November.  Who says we need to only express what we're thankful for on just one particular day?  We have so much to be thankful for and I think by sharing it then we become more joyful and appreciative people.  The goal is to express something different everyday that you are thankful for.  It can literally be anything!  Who's with me?

Today I am expressing my thanks for relationships.  Since I have moved, I've realized more about the value in family, friendships and never taking any of that for granted.  I am so thankful for my husband and the relationship we share and how we have grown so much in the last 2 months.  My family is something I've always cherished and being away from them has only made that stronger.  And I'm also so thankful for the friends back in Oregon and the friends that I've made here in California.  Last, but most certainly not least, my relationship with my Lord.  He never ceases to amaze me and His provision is magnificent.

What are you thankful for?  I hope you'll participate!  Leave me a comment if you're in and if you'd like for me to see what you're thankful for! Please link people back here if you post so that I can see what everyone has to say. :)

P.S. I'm participating in the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week! Check it out here!

Have a happy weekend!
