Feeling very grateful this week 1. My Husband 2. The rest of my family (including extended) 3. Financial stability 4. My job 5. My manager who is extremely supportive and doesn’t micromanage 6. Living in Florida 7. My health and the fact that I am officially in remission from a chronic condition 🙌🏽
8. My pup 9. All my close friends near and far 10. Target (and Target Circle) 🤣 because I don’t know how I’d survive without that place especially since I can usually rely on there being a Starbucks inside!
Thankful of/for 1) My hubby 2) My Charlie-pup 3) That we didn't get blown away in the horrible storms that came through Saturday 4) For the warmer weather this winter (even though it is VERY disturbing and unusual) because my pain levels haven't been as bad as a result 5) The rain! We have had a lot of it this winter, and it is a huge relief considering it is our only source of water off grid. Droughts will make you quickly realize how valuable a resource water is! *Bonus: I have lots of fungi to photograph as a result of all of this rain and warm weather. 6) Being surrounded by wildlife/the forest. 7) Being financially stable at this point in my life. 8) My handful of wonderful online friends 9) Thick, fuzzy socks that keep my "icicle feet" from becoming too uncomfortable! Also beanies--to keep my head warm! 10) My hiking gear and camera (with macro lens)
