So, it's been a hot minute since I blogged about all the things I am thankful for. To keep this short, I've abbreviate the things I am thankful for and will try to blog daily for the rest of the month (Who am I kidding? That most likely won't happen.)
Nov 3- I am thankful for the beautiful area we call home. I love driving across the causeway and spillway, looking at all the wildlife. I love going to the boat landing and seeing a beautiful sunset. I love watching the leaves change colors. I love how green and relatively clean it is around here. I don't take all of this beauty for granted.
Nov 4- I am thankful for field trips. I tell all of my students, every year, that I don't define students by test scores. So I love watching kids being kids at field trips, playing with friends and not being confined to 4 walls.
Nov 5- This may seem lazy to some of you, but I am thankful for grocery order pick ups. For me, it saves me money and time. It also counts down on the amount of junk food I buy. It's nice, after a long day, to have someone else "wait on" me.
Nov 6- I am thankful that I am a teacher, which has been my dream since I was in 3rd grade. My students amaze me every day. Today I got news that they absolutely killed a district test that all 6th graders take. I am so proud of my students! There is no other profession I'd rather be a part of at this point of my life.
Nov 7- Today I'm thankful for our neighbors. In fact, I'm thankful for all of our neighbors we've had since getting married. Some were in our lives for a season and some became friends for life. But, I'm thankful that we've always had neighbors that watch out for each other and help each other when needed.
Nov 8- I am thankful that I got to spend the morning with 2 of my closest friends. We went to a large craft fair and then to lunch. Afterwards I got to spend the afternoon with E and Rob at our camp. I hate that P wasn't with us, but he has been working so many hours lately.
Nov 9- I am thankful for our church. We had a great time in our Sunday School class, laughing and digging into the Word. Then the worship time was on point and I loved the praise songs the congregation sang. I am forever thankful that my best friend invited us to give her church a try a couple years ago because we found our church family there.
Nov 10- I'm thankful for a good workout. I'll be honest and tell you that I wouldn't go if it wasn't for E wanting to work out. But, once I am there, I like the stress relief of a good workout after a long day.
Nov 11- Today, and every day, I am thankful for our veterans. It amazes me to comprehend their level of selflessness, how they give so much for my freedom. I am so thankful for our men and women in the armed forces.
Nov 12- I am so thankful for our beautifully outdated house. I love the front porch and how comfy our house is. I love the acreage it sits on. Growing up, my childhood house was always filled with guests and I wanted the same thing when I had a family of my own. I am thankful that Rob is on board with this. Between parties, out of town guests, family, and crawfish boils, I would guess that we've probably hosted about 200 people in the 3+ years we've lived here. I am so thankful for our HOME.
Nov 13- I have not felt well for about the past month or so. I'll feel good and then a few days later I'll be congested again. On the 13th I lost my voice and had very little energy so I was able to come home and take a nap after work. I am thankful for naps, especially when I don't always sleep great at night.
Nov 14- Today I am thankful for laughter. I am glad that God gave us a sense of humor and the ability to laugh. I had the CRAZIEST dream last night and I got a lot of laughs out of it as I shared it with so many people (mostly my students).
Nov 15- This brings us to today. The weather has been beautiful the past few days. Today I am thankful that it was warm enough to wear shorts and open my sunroof on the way to meet up with a friend at an outdoor craft fair. After I got home, I enjoyed taking my dog for a walk and then went for a bike ride. I am thankful for warm Fall days.
