The Little Things
October 8, 2015

Happy Thursday and HAPPY OCTOBER! While I’m sad to really see summer go (October officially feels like fall even though fall starts in September), I do love October, so I’m trying to enjoy the season I’m in currently. Here’s what I’m thankful for right now:

I’m thankful for a warm start to fall. We had an absolutely gorgeous September with very little rain and a large amount of 80 degree sunshine. I’m so thankful that we had an extra month that felt like summer!

I’m thankful for wonderful colleagues. I work with some truly fantastic, caring, and supportive people, and that’s something I don’t ever want to take for granted.

I’m thankful for rose blooms. I have rose bushes in my yard, and a few weeks ago I started cutting off blooms and putting them on a tiny vase on my mantle. The bright pink adds a pop of color and happiness to my living room, which I love. I’m thankful for free flowers right now while the weather is still nice.

I’m thankful for the chance to get back to the classroom. While most of what I’m teaching in my job as a professor is all review for me, there are still things here and there that I am learning as I do extra research or watch videos as I’m hunting for things to show in class. I’m thankful that I have a job that creates a learning environment for me!

I’m thankful for a beautiful views while biking. I love the freedom that biking brings as it gets me closer to nature! I’m thankful for the beauty in nature.

Now it’s your turn to share! What are you feeling thankful for today?
