30 Little Celebrations

Happy Thanksgiving!

On Facebook this month, I've been enjoying reading the 30 days of thankfulness posts. I love this tradition, and only wish it was lengthened to 365 days of thankfulness.

Of course I'm grateful for big things: my family and friends, a steady income, and how amazing Papa is, to name a few. For me, though, it's the little celebrations that remind me of the larger ones. So, in honor of Thanksgiving, I've compiled, in no particular order, the below incomprehensive list.


30 Little Celebrations

  1. Books
  2. Chocolate-flavored-coffee
    Yum...
  3. Paper
  4. Candles
  5. Friends who don't mind modeling for your covers...
    Thanks, Jojo!
  6. Computers
  7. Blankets
  8. Sunlight
  9. Dry-erase boards 
    So great for organizing!
  10. Drawers you can stuff things into to keep your desk 'clean'. (That's right. I'm one of those people.)
  11. Fuzzy pajamas
  12. Fuzzy socks
  13. Fuzzy anything
    Fluffy, fuzzy...same thing, right?
  14. Music you can't help but dance to (maybe that's just me)
  15. Movies
  16. Handwritten letters (both sending and receiving)
  17. Snow on a day you don't have to drive 
    Especially when it sticks to the branches like this...beautiful
  18. The just-one-more-chapter phenomenon
  19. Sunrises and sunsets
  20. Verbal hugs (also known as words of affirmation)
  21. Mutual excitement 
    I don't actually know what this gif is from. I still like it.
  22. Doodling, because it doesn't have to be 'good'
  23. Flowers
  24. Being outside
  25. Dresses
  26. Finishing a project, even a small one
    I like this size for a to do list
  27. Good hair days
  28. Salvageable hair days
  29. Your favorite song on the radio
  30. Sleep, and stuffed animals
    I might still have one or two...and still sleep with them. Hush.

I could go on. I love these reminders of Papa's goodness! I'll end this here...but perhaps these lists will become a new monthly tradition. Maybe there really can be 365 days of thankfulness.
