Things I am thankful for...

I just came across this blog post titled "things I am thankful for".  It was empty.  I started it last year in hopes that I could come up with a few things to remind me of how great life can be.  Apparantly it was harder than I thought and I put it to rest... and I'm not sure I have a lot to add at this point either.  Things aren't easier.  In fact, somedays are just hard.

But one thing that's for certain...
1.) I have a few really lovely people in my life that I could never, ever live without.  And the best brother, sister-in-law and nephew in the whole universe.  And for that I am forever thankful.




One of my best gals sent me an email recently when I was having a rough go.  The subject line was "things I am interested in more than a number" referencing me being bummed after a run-in with her scale.  It was a list of 21 things that she found interesting about my life.  Even on the longest days and the hardest nights and when I am my very worst person...I'm still quite interesting.  So here's to being not just thankful for others but for being thankful for our own traits that carry us through during the darkest days.  Here's to being interesting.
