Manic Monday | Remembering to be thankful

Manic Monday…these words have never been truer than they are today.

I woke up groggy, hungover from the busyness & stress of the weekend, with more to do than ever, feeling overwhelmed & not wanting to do any of it.  Can’t I just lay on the couch & watch Netflix marathons all day?  No?  Do I really have to go spend a fortune on new tires? Yes?  FINE!  Ugh.

On days like today, it’s easy for me to shut down & start feeling sorry for myself (for no good reason, mind you)…pity party, anyone?  However, today I’ve decided to take just a few minutes to remember everything I’m thankful for.

• My family.  I’m thankful that both of my parents are still alive and well; that they love & support me no matter what & take care of me when I need it most.  I’m thankful for siblings that crack me up & lift me up & for the most incredible grandmother, who blows me away with her selflessness everyday.  Most of all, I’m thankful for my entire family & how close we all are.  This seems to be rarer and rarer everyday, so I’m beyond blessed.
• My job.  I can’t believe I get to do what I love so much.  God has provided for me in ways I never could have imagined & allowed me to continue pursuing my dream full-time (even when I thought there was no way possible it would work).  It blows me away, even when I’m terrified that I’ll fail, He keeps pushing me.

Those are just a few of the things I’m thankful for, but I’ll stop there for now.  Basically, I just wanted to remind myself (& you if you’re throwing your own pity party today) that I’m incredible lucky to even be here & all of that other stuff is just icing.

{I’m also thankful for amazing clients like this!!}
