Live Accordingly: A Thankful Heart

Sunday, November 30, 2014

As I sat down to write this post, I wanted to make a list of everything I am thankful for. As I began, I realized how incredibly overwhelming a task that is, and how lucky I am to be able to say that. The task of documenting everything I am thankful for is a daunting one because I have so much to appreciate. When I sit down and think about everything in my life, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I have been blessed with so much.

Regardless of how long a list I wrote, I would never be able to cover it all. I have an amazing home, career, friends, pets, resources and hobbies, and above all else, our family. What I love most about my and Wyet's relationship is that we have both adopted each others family as our own. We aren't two separate families but rather one, and that is a blessing beyond measure.

Below are some photos of our Thanksgiving celebration this year. I am so thankful that I was able to spend it in the company of those I love the absolute most. They are the ones that make this holiday worth celebrating.

My other half and mother-in-law. I couldn't have picked any one better.

A Thanksgiving tradition in our family is to gift my mom with a new Christmas book to add to her collection each year. This year, I found the perfect book in England, Santa is Coming to Peterborough. She will never find anything else quite like it.
