this day of thanks

It's another Thanksgiving. Another year of stuffing your face and shopping til you drop after, and I just can't believe it's this time of year again. There is so much to be thankful for so today, I am going to be enjoying every moment of it. Even though I might be working and may not get some turkey today, today is still my day to look at everything I have and feel blessed.

Enjoy this day with your family and all the things you hold dear.

The past week has felt like one LONG day. There was a lot going on and at times I felt like my head was going to explode (literally). But in the end, I got through it. This week is another week. It's going to have its challenges (like my HESI exam which determines if I get into the LPN program, yikes!) just like the last. And just like the last one, I will get through this week as well. I feel blessed to have the people around me that I do because they are the ones who make the little moments in between the hectic ones special and worth while. They are the ones who make me look back at the last week and say "Hey, it wasn't that bad."

So this Thanksgiving week, I am counting my blessings daily. To the people, friends and family, my man and my love, and my acquaintances, I am happy to say that I know you and have you in my life. Each have taught me something and made me happy to say "Hey, life really isn't that bad." In fact, it's beautiful.

What are some things you're thankful for this week?

a letter to you, little planner

  Oh you little Erin Condren planner, how you make me happy. I write all of my little notes, my to-dos, and my plans in you. I keep you safe and dry on a daily basis. I have neat handwriting (most of the time) for you and you alone. I love your chevron pattern to death and I think we are best friends. But lately, you've made me want to pull my hair out. Overwhelmed is what you make me feel. You are supposed to keep me organized, little planner. But instead, I have visual proof of how busy my schedule has become. Proof of how I have too many things to do in too few hours of the day. Alas my little planner, I know it's not your fault. But there is nothing better than blaming inanimate objects instead of yourself no matter what it is. Am I right? So please, from now on, instead of looking at the words I write as what makes my schedule too busy, help me look at it as life. Because in reality, it would be boring any other way. Until the end of the year, little chartreuse planner, we can still be best friends.   Now that I'm done talking to my planner, I wanted to take a second and thank each and every one of you who frequent this place. And if you haven't noticed, it's almost 300! This little whirlwind of a hobby has quickly become a place that feels like home. It wouldn't have happened without all you readers that have stuck with me from the beginning. This blog owner has big plans and there's no stopping her now. Thank you for giving me the drive to keep going.   Happy Thursday everyone! To Tallahassee I go. (is there ever going to be a weekend I'm not traveling?)
