What I’m Thankful For this Thanksgiving

November 22, 2018 Comments : 22

Thanksgiving is a time where we take the opportunity to reflect on what we are thankful for in life. Traditionally I take to my social media accounts to post about what I am thankful for today. However, I decided to instead share here all the things that I am thankful for, not just today, but everyday.

Family that is always there: I am extremely lucky to have family that supports me, encourages me and is there for me no matter what.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Here is my list! #Thanksgiving #Holiday #Givethanks

An amazing partner to navigate this crazy life with: (Yes, I am talking about you Aaron) Someone who is not only the love of my life but my best friend as well. It is an extremely rare find and I can not express enough how thankful I am for that.

Children that challenge me, inspire me and push me to be the best mom and person I can be: They also teach me how to be more patient, kind and imaginative.

A job that I love: Sometimes (okay, most of the time) I complain about working but I still love what I do. I love being a nurse.

Friends that understand my hectic life but still want to be my friend despite only hanging out every few weeks: The older I get the more I realize that having a lot of friends is less important then having a small group of good friends who understand you and love you through the good times and the bad.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Here is my list! #Thanksgiving #Holiday #Givethanks

The ability to overcome: If you asked me a few years ago if I was happy I would have said yes but I secretly was slowly dying inside. I overcame a lot in my previous relationship and I am stronger for it. I also have to overcome the doubts I have everyday that I’m a terrible mom and nurse. The doubts that I will fail as a blogger. So I am thankful for my ability to push past these thoughts most days and continue on. 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of you: The ones that have been following my journey from the beginning. Thank you for taking the time to read, share and comment. I appreciate it more then I can say. Stay tuned for some new posts in the next few weeks!

So what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Let me know in the comments below! Also subscribe to be the first to know when a new blog post comes out!

    This is such a lovely post. I did one similar two days ago.

    While we try to be thankful everyday it does help to have a holiday that pushes people to think about what they are thankful for.

    My favorite part:
    Children that challenge me, inspire me and push me to be the best mom and person I can be

    I’ve got three of those, and I know for sure that I wouldn’t be who I am, if it wasn’t for them!

9 + years since my first was born and almost 3 sin 9 + years since my first was born and almost 3 since my second and I have to say I still have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to parenting. ⁣
⁣
The great thing is; these two have no idea that most days I’m just winging it. Now more then ever, it’s important we admit to ourselves this motherhood thing is hard and as long as we keep the small humans happy and fed we are totally winning at this #momlife ⁣

Grateful Warrior; a print from the lovely and tale Grateful Warrior; a print from the lovely and talented @lindsey.erin. A wonderful artist (for real check out her stuff) and person who inspires me daily with her creativity and positivity. ⁣
⁣
This print means so many different things to me in this season of my life. ⁣
It’s a reminder that I am a strong woman who doesn’t give up easily. Someone who aspires to do more, be more. As a partner, mother, friend. ⁣
⁣
It’s also a reminder to be grateful for the opportunities I have and the power of my light I send out into this world. I glance at it everyday, hanging in my office reminding me to be the grateful warrior that I am.⁣

We are officially closing out this year!!⁣ 2020 We are officially closing out this year!!⁣
2020 was a year full of many challenges but it held some amazing moments and opportunities as well. ⁣
⁣
We took a fun, much needed vacation at the beginning of the year with @carnival cruise line, got married @samosetresort on a whim, personally I grew my blog and met some pretty large goals I had set for myself this year and the kids stayed happy and healthy. So even with the bad, there was a lot of good.⁣
⁣
I’m hopeful that this New Year will bring even more opportunities and chances to grow and be a little less hard on others. ⁣
