thankful.

When I first thought about blogging again, I wanted to make sure that that I was being mindful of good things. Good thoughts, events, people, etc. It can sometimes be hard to remember all of those good things, so I wanted to remind myself of things that I'm thankful for.

My aunt (aka tonight's motivation for this post!) has been posting things she's thankful for & what a great way to keep track of that & look back to be able to remind yourself that there are good things. Hard things, yes, but those can be good as well. So, here we go. Enjoy :)

1. Bob Costas. 
2. The Olympics
3. Good friends who bring PBR for our cultural Olympic viewing. 'Merica.
4. Registering gift cards/signing up for rewards. So far I've gotten a free bagel & tomorrow I shall go get my free coffee & breakfast sandwich from Starbucks & Caribou respectively.
5. My workout buddy/physical trainer/emotional trainer/coworker/friend/confidant/buddy.
