gratitude

oreo milkshakes
my incredibly sweet and supportive husband
sleeping in super late on my days off
having days off in the first place
staying healthy when everyone around me is sick [knock on wood]
midnight bowls of cheerios
finding a/c on 100 degree days
the songbirds who sing in the middle of the night
cool autumn days which i know have got to be just around the corner
shopping sprees with leftover birthday and christmas money
finally finishing a project i began last halloween
the beautiful bouquet of flowers the mister gave me after a rough day
trader joe's brownie bites with sea salt {mmm!}
successfully managing yet another week

{yay!! print by jon klassen}

it has been a very, incredibly, ridiculously busy week for me, and the busyness will likely continue through the weekend.  there are, however, so many wonderful things amidst the chaos of life for which we can be thankful.  these were just a few from my list, how about yours?

  3. Yesterday I was like "Kim! Where are you!" but I didn't want to bug. And now I'm craving myself a bowl of cheerios.

  5. It's wonderful that even in the midst of complete chaos, you can stop and enjoy all the little things that make life so good, isn't it?

    Hope your weekend is marvellous, despite the busy-ness!

  7. Gratitude: coffee (always), girlfriends, SF weather, looking forward to a weekend off, my health (& strength), the coming holidays. :)

    Have a wonderful weekend, Kim! I hope you get some rest this weekend, although I totally understand the feeling of eternal busyness. I usually feel like I can't catch up no matter what. Here's to some peace for both of us!
