gratitude!

this week i am so ridiculously grateful for...

+ the season of cookies!

+ the amazing and wonderful blog that is  daily pep talk from a best friend, and
the beautiful anna from little reminders of love for introducing me to it ~ they're both making the world a better place!

+ finally tackling one of those big things on my list which i had put off for weeks {phew!}

+ inspiration from scoutie girl to unplug, and then getting myself to actually do it {new rule ~ if i don't have a specific purpose to be online, i log off. so much harder than i thought it would be, but so worth it!}

+ all the great things i've been doing with my life when i'm not online.

+ these free recipe cards, and crow and canary for tweeting about them.

+ embracing my dreams, sharing them with others {boy that's tough}, and no one laughing at me for any of it {take that inner critic!}

+ getting "wiggled" by blair of wild & precious, how great is that?! you should definitely check out her blog - it's gorgeous and oh so fun!

+ the stars aligning and gaining some clarity from the universe.

+ another holiday party this weekend, yay!

+ all the sweet little birds that hang out in our courtyard.

+ my wonderful family and friends, including all of my blogger friends! you guys are the greatest!

+ aaaannddd... this photograph!  isn't it THE best?!  found here.

  6. I adore your new internet rule! And I'm grateful for getting to spend time with friends and explore a new city and eat some delicious food. I'm also grateful I'll be home soon, first to San Diego to snuggle with some cats, then to NJ to snuggle with my boyfriend. I need that pretty badly.
    Happy Weekend, Kim!

    I am so thankful for a tall husband that gets things from the top shelf for me.

    I am also grateful for my lovely home and the job that helps me pay that mortgage.

  12. awe the picture made me giggle :)

    i always love your posts on being grateful. i've been in a slump lately, and posts like these remind me to quit whining and be thankful for the things i have.

    in particular:

    the mister, my pupcake, rainy days, yankee gift swap parties, and my blender :) i am currently obsessed with making smoothies!

    Sounds as though you have many wonderful things to celebrate. Have fun at the holiday party and enjoy time away from the computer (I'm trying to do this myself lately).

    I'm grateful for being finished with my holiday shopping and for the opportunity to veg on my couch in my pajamas today. That is a wonderful feeling :)
