As I kept up on my bi-weekly thankful thoughts posts, I noticed more and more things I’m thankful for. It’s been an amazing eye opener and is something I will continue in my mind and then again next November. I’m so thankful for many things in my life and I’d like to share 25 of them with you.
I know that everyone and their mom lists out their family and significant other as the first few, so to keep it interesting, I’ll post a short reason why I’m thankful for them.
2. Binks Yes I have to do my cats seperately. They are both so unique and I love each in a different way. Binks is a wild cat and always makes me smile. While he doesn’t love to be held, he loves his tummy rubbed and his face scratched. I’m so thankful we brought him into our life. 3. Weasley I love my little orange fur ball so much. He’s such an adorable, sweet kitten. He loves to be held and always is up for snuggles. He loves to fall asleep on my pillow with me. I love him so much and am so glad I was able to add the sweetest kitten ever to my little family. 4. Amanda Amanda is totally the best cousin one could ask for. She’s my best friend and I can always count on her for a coffee run or a random adventure. Although we never take photos of our times together, we have so much fun. Thanks for being my best friend. 5. My Mom I love my Momma so much and she has been such a great teacher in my life. She’s given me so many life skills that I didn’t even know I had. I am so blessed to have her as my mom. 6. Kim I’ve already posted a thankful thought about my boss Kim, but she’s so wonderful that I have to do another. She has been so kind to me and has given me confidence in myself. She’s encouraged me to do so much and I could never thank her enough. 7. My Blog This may be a strange thing to be thankful for, but I totally am. I love that I have this creative space to share my thoughts and feelings, even if nobody reads it. I love blogging for me. 8. My Car While my car totally isn’t the car of my dreams, I love it. I’m so thankful that I have a nice reliable car to get me places. 9. The Kids I adore the kids I work with more than anything else. They are so pure and happy. I will never be able to accurately describe the amount of love I have for them. So many times I have teared up because someone said my name for the first time, or I see one child comfort another who is upset. These kids are teaching me so much more than I could ever teach them. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky as to know them, but I am so thankful for them. I love you all. 10. Tyler (again) While I’ve already thanked him for being the best friend I could ever have and I am so glad he’s my husband, I also want to take a separate moment to be thankful of how hard he works. Taking on a second job for us is amazing and I really appreciate it. He’s such a hard worker and I know that he will always strive for us to have financial security. 11. My Camera I find so much joy in taking photos. I am so thankful that I have a nice camera that lets me pursue this dream of mine. 12. Marriage Okay guys, I love being married. It’s honestly the best. I have a partner in everything and a strong support system. I am so thankful that I got to marry the man of my dreams. My husband is the best and our marriage is already #goals. 13. Friends I am so thankful for all those people I call friend. While I don’t have the space to write out something about every friend I have, I am thankful for the support they give and the fun times we have. 14. Fall I am thankful I live in a place where falls are beautiful and crisp. I love everything about fall and am so thankful for this season. 15. My Apartment So thankful for the cute, perfect apartment I have. I love being out on my own and having a place to decorate. I can’t wait to own a home, but for now I am thankful for my apartment that’s all my own. 16. Being Young This is also a strange thing to be thankful for, but I totally am. I love that Tyler and I are young, that we married young, and that we have the freedom to do what we want. I want a family and to be a mom, but for now I’m thankful to be young and free. I want to experience all that life has to offer to young me. 17. My Healthy Body While I don’t always love the way my body looks, I really am thankful that it is strong and healthy and can do what I need it to. 18. Technology I think technology gets a really bad rep. I am so thankful for all the technology in my life. Really if I had to do even half of what is done for me with technology I would be exhausted. I am thankful that it makes my life easier and gives me time to focus on the important things in my life. 19. Food This is a broad one, but I’m thankful that I have access to good healthy food as well as the occasional splurge on junk food. 20. Traditions As Tyler and I start our family off, we have talked a lot about what we want to do for holidays and what traditions we want to have. I am thankful that we can create our own traditions. I love the value they hold and how connected to my family they make me feel. Traditions are wonderful. 21. My Phone I am so thankful that I live in a time where I have access to so much information through my phone. I carry it everywhere and I can be so connected. While you have to choose to use this connection positively, I am so amazed at how easy it is to connect with others. I’m thankful that I can use my phone to find out how old my fave celebrity is as well as call my grandma I haven’t seen in months. 22. Pinterest I am a totally pinterest mom (minus the mom part) and I spend hours on this site. However I am so thankful for it. It has given me so much joy and many ideas. 23. Coffee This is a horrible thing to put on my list, but I really am thankful for coffee. It’s one of my favorite drinks, but I’m mostly thankful for it because it brings me close to others. I love coffee dates and supporting local coffee shops. 24. My New Family An amazing thing about marriage is having your extended family grow. I am so thankful to get the chance to have a family relationship with Tyler’s side and love each new member. 25. My Blessings I’m sure that I’ve forgotten lots of things I should be really thankful for, I know I live a very blessed and spoiled life. I want you guys to know that I am very thankful for all that I have. *Kylie

November 13th
Today I am thankful for coffee dates with my cousin. It’s something we’ve done for the past like 9 months and it’s been a great tradition that brings us closer together. I’ve loved being able to text her just a coffee emoji and set a date. I look forward to every date we have and we often talk for hours. It’s the little things that make relationships strong. She’s like my best friend and I love going out with her. So today Amanda and coffee are what I’m thankful for. I loved the 2017 blogtober challenge so much. It was really amazing to take the time to write something everyday. While I loved doing it, I’m not as ambitious as to shoot for a post everyday again. I am starting a bi weekly post of what i’m thankful for. My goal is to post Mondays and Fridays, but I’m sure I’ll stray from that on occasion.
I realized that as October ended, I was really disappointed. I love October, it’s probably my favorite month. But as November began, I noticed that I suddenly am falling in love with this month. It’s such an amazing time. Fall (the most amazing season) is in full swing and it’s a time to reflect. The holidays are coming quick, but November seems to be the calm before the storm. I don’t think I’ve taken time to really appreciate that. So for this post I am thankful for Novembers. I plan to appreciate this month more and really enjoy it. My goals for this series of posts is to look more carefully at my everyday life. I know I am blessed and have lots to be thankful for. I hope to see that more clearly in the month to come. I challenge you all to do it with me. Just because we have a day in dedicated to thankfulness doesn’t mean we can’t practice it all month, or even all year long! *Kylie |
