Despite getting POURED on this morning... I am thankful.
I am thankful because I'm alive. I'm able to feel the rain.
I'm thankful I have my friends and family to hug whenever I feel like it.
As we all know, this day twelve years ago, was a day that forever changed the lives of thousands.
It got me thinking on my way to work (and I posted something about this yesterday), what I'm truly thankful for. I typically say finding joy in the small things is a key to happiness. I truly believe it.
I'm happy because...
-Fall is right around the corner.
-I met a gorgeous bride-to-be last night and we talked "wedding" for over an hour at Starbucks. She brought one of her bridesmaids, who happened to be an avid blog-reader of mine (Heeey Leah!). It was humbling, and so much fun.
-I won the most amazing giveaway from Alexa's blog. Seriously, southern shrimp and grits. How cool is that?!
-My 13 year old car is still running. Woo!
-I cooked REAL meals two nights in a row. Seriously, that Rice Krispie Chicken I posted on Instagram Monday night...Caleb ate 5 pieces of. #suzyhomemakerinthemaking
-I'm making time to dive into God's word more often. I WILL be finishing the entire Bible before 2013 is over.
-I get to meet a fellow blogger this week, Miss Amanda. I am literally SO excited about this. Not only will she be the first blogger friend I ever get to meet, but Caleb and I are also shooting her wedding on Friday!! Head over and wish her some wedding happies, friends!!
-Leaves are beginning to slightly change colors.
-My colorful gym shoes I slip into every time I head out for a run.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such great posts :) One of my favorite quotes is from Winnie the Pooh "Sometimes, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.” Have a great time meeting your new blog friend this weekend! Can't wait for our turn :)
ReplyDeleteMy workout shoes are almost too colorful, but they make me so happy when I put them on too. I found out the other day that parts of my shoes even glow in the dark! You have no idea how excited that made me. Haha.
ReplyDeleteIt is a HUGE goal of mine to read the Bible from back to front. This is such an amazing thing to accomplish and read and follow his word! You are ah-mazing! And yay for the bride-to-be convo! You will rock it!
