Okay, so I am totally aware that I am awful at being consistent with my posts BUT I really do have good intentions so I hope I'll start being better about updating.
I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving and the holidays are off to a wonderful start. Over the past couple of weeks I have been feeling so blessed and I wanted to share some of the things that I am particularly grateful for right now. I've been jotting down a couple things every morning and it is crazy how many things I have been blessed with. If you haven't tried it yet, I would totally suggest starting a gratitude journal.
