One of my favorite times of the year is the Holiday Season. Reason being because it is a time to focus on ourselves, our families and our friends. November is very special because it gives us time to reflect back on the things we are thankful for. Everyone lives such busy lives that sometimes we forget to slow down and really appreciate things and be thankful for what we have in our lives. With this being said, I decided to link up with endlessly beloved to share what I am thankful for. So here we go:
My Family - Without my family I wouldn't have the desire and ability to be as successful and driven as I am. They are my biggest cheerleaders and the people I admire and look up to.
My Guy - There is only one word to describe him, amazing. He is my rock and my partner in love & life.
My Friends - These girls are the best! The girls I hang out with are more like sister than friends. They definitely know how to pick you up when you're down and just have a good time.
My Schooling - I never thought I would say this but I am thankful for my schooling. Without my degree I would be flipping burgers at McDonald's (which there is nothing wrong with that I want more from life).
Traveling - I am so thankful to be able to embrace so many different cultures and see all the different corners of the planet. We have a beautiful world, just go out and find it.
Starbucks - Lets face it without coffee I would be sleeping all the time (but seriously). I love their cups, their atmosphere in their coffee shops and their Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
Motivation - Without motivation I would get nothing done (zero, zilch, nada). Let me tell you it's hard working Monday-Thursday 7 hours a day and then going to classes every evening after work and trying to get into the gym as much as possible.
Heels - While most of you wouldn't think a girl that is 5'3 is short but I feel short compared to everyone around me. So I wear heels
Memories - I love making (fun) memories. I think every day is a chance to do something great and change yourself for the better.
Planes - I love to fly and to visit airports (don't know why but I do). And mostly I love planes because they take me to My Guy.
What are you thankful for?
Link up with endlessly beloved to share your story.

DeleteI may have a few questions as soon as I get a little more comfortable with the blog. Thanks for the offer :)
DeleteI'm with you on the heels! I'm 5'8" and I stillll love 'em!
ReplyDeleteThe higher heels the better :)
DeleteGreat list! You are so right about motivation. It is needed to accomplish all the things I need to do too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was actually hard to think of things, I really needed to reflect on myself and my day to day life.
DeleteI love me some Starbucks!! I'm become obsessed these past months, I think i've been living under a rock, because I was not a big coffee person before. lol.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful blog. Excited to read more!! :)

I used to hate coffee when I was in high school and my freshman year of college but now I can't imagine some days without it. Thanks for the complement & please check back often.
DeleteI am only 5 foot tall, so sometimes I am wearing heels and still am the shortest person. Lucky for me, all my friends and family don't see height as a limit,
ReplyDeleteI always get a little talk from my mom & dad saying that heels aren't good for my feet. But I just feel sexier when I wear heels.
DeleteI love Starbucks! Skinny vanilla lattes runs through my blood lol :) And I love traveling as well!
ReplyDeleteLovely blog you got here :)
Thanks! I have an obsession with skinny vanilla lattes and pumpkin spice latte! And if I could see the whole world I would be the happiest girl around. But according to my Tripadvisor account I've been 3% of the world....making progress I guess.
DeleteI found you from Brianna's link up and am now following on GFC & Bloglovin'. Starbucks is my favourite way to treat myself, I am so excited it's gingerbread latte season!! I'm thankful for memories too, losing my memories is one of my biggest fears.
ReplyDeleteWelcome & thank you! I love new visitors. I had my first gingerbread latte the other day and it was in their seasonal red cups....oh the little things that excite me :)
DeleteI'm glad you found me and I hope you stay awhile.
It's so great that you are so motivated and get yourself to classes and the gym after a hard workig day. You seem to be very ambitious which is such a great trait. I am the same way. It's so inspirational to get to know different culturess. I am from germany and have been visiting highschool in PA for one semester and studied in Budapest. It is such a great way to widen your horizon. Interesting post :-)

I completely agree! I'm actually from Romania so that's pretty close to Budapest.
DeleteJust stopping by from the link up. I wish I could travel more. I had hopes of doing so but my daughter was born and life just goes by so fast. We're doing our first big trip with her next summer... flying from Oregon to Florida and then traveling up the entire East Coast. I can't wait. I really loved reading through your list. Starbucks... LOVE!!!

Thanks for stopping by! I can imagine that life changes once you have a daughter, but congratulations on your little bundle of joy! It's crazy how much I enjoy little kids now that I'm getting a little older. The trip from Oregon to Florida sounds fantastic! I know Tampa/St.Petersburg isn't that big of a vacation destination but I would add it to your route if you can. It is beautiful and the beach in Clearwater is really nice as well.
