Are grateful and thankful synonyms? I assume that they are. I found this journal I kept when I was littler of a list of things I’m thankful for. I wrote each item out either like this “I am thankful for….” or this “I am grateful for.” I didn’t even make a list. I wrote each one individually. I won’t lie, I was pretty impressed with my younger self when I found this book. Then again, when I opened it up, I saw that I had thanked God for Stephanie Meyers writing Twilight and Summit for making the movie. However, I can’t deny that I’m super excited for the last movie. So, I guess I am still thankful for that.
Anyway, I decided that I want to do occasional posts about what I’m grateful for.
1. The week off! Every other week, I get the weekdays off. It is the bomb.
2. Seeing some fun movies lately. I watched Salmon Fishing in the Yemen Sunday with Mom, Magic Mike (mmmmmhhhhmmmmm) with friends Monday, and Funny Face last night. 🙂
3. Time spent watching and playing with the puppies.
4. This week being pay week. Two pay deposits, yes please.
5. My healthy family.
6. My amazing friends. In the past few years, I‘ve become much closer to a cousin of mine. We used to spend a lot of time together when we were young, and it’s bizarre how similar we are now. It means so much to me that we hang out now.
7. Thrift store finds. I know, random, but I’ve been going to the thrift store more often and have been finding some awesome books. I had been thinking that I really wanted to go to a book store, but books are so expensive! I’m glad I discovered the book section at the Salvation Army. Three words, 90% OFF.
8. Going to the lake to swim. Even though I’m pretty much deadly afraid of seaweed and the fish lurking underwater that I cannot see. Evil fish.
9. The clam dinners we had Saturday and Sunday.
10. Some awesome thunder storms finally giving water to our dried out lawns.
