i realize it’s tarzhay thursday, but i think it’s more important to today focus on my gratefulness. i just wanted to take this moment to express my gratitude. not for anything in particular [more like everything in particular], but for the life i have been given. i am so incredibly lucky that i have the family, friends, career, hobbies, passions, and people in my life that i do. i am able to find things throughout the day that i’m grateful for, and am getting even better at recognizing moments, in the moment, that i know i will appreciate later. i truly, truly hope that i never lose this sense of gratefulness for the life i have, because i think it helps keep me grounded when things in my life get a little chaotic. i am one lucky human.
i’ve found that having this gratitude-seeking mindset helps me stay grounded in the present. i seek out the little moments – nothing huge – that i recognize as things to be appreciative of. it could be getting up to walk for thirty minutes in the morning [SO lucky my body is able to sustain the life i live!], my time spent just chilling with my little family [watching logan dance to the middle is LITERALLY THE BEST THING EVER], or weekend mornings i get to spend playing with my friends babes [how lucky am i that i get to be in their lives?!], keeping my perspective on my life is so much easier since i’m looking at things through a lens of gratitude. now, this isn’t to say that i always recognize my blessings and never lose sight of things. i do that on the daily. but having this place to mentally come back to really helps to keep me centered. my goal is to maintain this mindset consistently, and not just on the one day of the year that society expects us all to be grateful.
that’s all. if anything, i wrote this post more to myself than anyone, but if you identify with it, let me know – comment here or on my most recent insta. i love hearing from you guys, because i am SO GRATEFUL for you! i am honored you take the time to read, so i appreciate your time. have a wonderful thanksgiving!
thankful for …
