The Little Things
September 24, 2015

Happy Thursday and Happy Fall! Here’s what I’m thankful for right now:

I’m thankful for the chance to invest in friendships this weekend. While I had a long to-do list this weekend, I also had a number of fun friend related events this past weekend: a birthday celebration, finally meeting Cassie in person, and celebrating Melissa and her little one at her baby shower!  I’m thankful for the life-giving time with friends I had this weekend.

I’m thankful for supportive emails. I’ve gotten a number of really meaningful emails this past week that have come at really ideal moments. I’m thankful for people taking time out of their lives to send little notes of celebration and encouragement to me.

I’m thankful for the car dealer tackling my coffee stain! In annoying news, I ended up accidentally spilling coffee all over my front passenger’s seat, and I was so upset! I try to take good care of my car, so this was definitely not what I wanted. I tried to clean it myself, but it didn’t come out as well as I wanted, so I took it to the dealer to get professionally cleaned. Not only did they clean the seat AND put a protective coat of something on it so things wouldn’t stain in the future, but the guy there did it all for free for me! I’m so thankful that the stain not only came out, but that they didn’t charge me since my finances are consistently tight!

Pre-cleaning. Definitely not ideal.

I’m thankful for a beautiful walk last night. I got off work just a bit early last night, so I was able to talk to my cousin on the phone and go on a walk. Not only was it good to catch up with her a bit (well- on the phone at least- we talk every day via text though!), but I got to enjoy the beauty of the day too!

    Happy Thursday!! It is so nice that they cleaned your seat for free! Wow- that doesn’t seem like the norm!

    Today I’m grateful for several things! I’m grateful for the loving relationships I have with my fiance, friends, and family. I’m surrounded by wonderful people!

    I’m also grateful for the chance to go run a race this weekend in Grand Junction (the same race organizers who I ran a previous race with). It’s a small race with a cap of 100 for the half marathon. It’s also run at night under the full moon, with headlamps. You run along the Grand Mesa and it looks GORGEOUS! What a cool opportunity!

  2. I am thankful for sleep – when I can get it. 🙂

    That’s great that the dealership cleaned your seats for free! Nice surprise. Were they able to get the stain completely out?
