What are you thankful for??

People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

How I feel all of the time.

    Oh! I am so thankful for so many things! I'm thankful for:

    1) DH because he is literally the best
    2) my mom
    3) my dog
    4) my friends new and old
    4) you wonderful ladies
    5) steak and all of it's juiciness
    6) wine
    7) super fluffy pillows
    8) diet coke 
    9) t-shirt material pajamas
    10) netflix

    I was actually thinking last night of what I would say if my mom asked me to say the prayer at dinner. My daily prayers are a little silly and I got all emotional thinking of how truly blessed I am to have such a wonderful family. Okay, sorry for the cheese overload :).

    Edit: Can't follow directions - whooops!

    @brookert615 Netflix, yes! What did we do before Netflix?! What are you currently watching? 

    1. MH and family
    2. Wine 
    3. Living downtown (we moved to a high rise in August and were a little unsure but we LOVE it)
    4. Having the funds and ability to travel 
    5. Orangetheory (expensive but still cheaper than a therapist)
    6. Dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe’s
    7. That I have less than 3 years to go on my law school student loan forgiveness plan 
    8. My friends
    9. The internet
    10. Food and grocery delivery services

    @heml We watch all the Marvel and DC stuff but I just finished Schitt's Creek and really enjoyed it! Also - OrangeTheory... such a brutal workout lol. How often do you go? I was really considering it but I don't have one close enough and I get a free gym membership already so not sure if I wanted to pull the trigger yet.
