gratitude.

this year there is so much to be thankful for. i have been feeling stressed for the first time in a long time anticipating the arrival of our first baby and starting a new business. there seems to be an endless list of things to do, items to buy or make, bills to pay, future to plan... it can get overwhelming. i'll be honest, i've had a few good break downs just to relieve some tension.

on thanksgiving when i woke up to my sweet husband and cute puppy, we discussed what we were thankful for. every once in a while we like to do self evaluations to see how we're doing in life. we make sure our priorities are straight, our goals are aligned, and that we are doing what makes us happy. sometimes that means making a change, moving somewhere new, or going on a trip. sometimes that means improving our spending habits, eating habits, or exercising habits. and sometimes that means managing our time better and enjoying the present- which can be the most difficult to do.

so instead of overanalyzing the future thanksgiving morning, we were just grateful. grateful for a healthy baby that will change life as we know it.

hope you all had a happy thanksgiving. we sure did.
