It's the perfect early November day and I am
feeling a little

INTROSPECTIVE

ˌ{in-trə-ˈspek-tiv}: a reflective looking inward : an examination of one's own thoughts and feelings

and also very...

today.

I hope I can remember to stop and feel this way, not just during this month of gratitude, but throughout the year!

Just a few of the many things I am thankful for: down comforters, hot chocolate, democracy, giant snowflakes outside my window, clean sheets, phone calls from loved ones, leftover Halloween candy, fluffly slippers, steam cleaners, diet coke, warm towels, good neighbors, the mister, my health, funny emails, my friends, pictures of my nieces and nephews that always make me smile, fall sweaters and boots, my parents, half eaten tub of cookie dough in my fridge that I bought from my nieces school fundraiser, good books, pretty packages with beautiful ribbon, quiet and solitude, crossing things off my to-do list, the soft lighting of lamps on during a gray & gloomy day, fresh smelling laundry, my "i voted" sticker, leisure suits, my sisters, days off from "work" work, the crackling of the leaves beneath my feet when I walk outside, the extra hour of sleep this week and mostly just having another day to face the battles.

{Happy} November...

be GREAT & be thankful
