101 Things To Be Thankful For

There are so many beautiful things to be grateful for not just this week, but every week. Can't think of anything or just having a hard time coming up with authentic and true answers to the question, "What are you thankful for?" No need to worry, there are plenty of ways to count your daily blessings.

The best way I can recommend would be making a mental or physical list before you go to bed of 1-5 things you were thankful for that day. I started doing this last year and must say it's a pretty good habit that I have acquired. These lists range from moments to feelings to items to my favorite foods. There's no right or wrong thing to be thankful for because it's the ordinary things in life that make it extraordinary.

Take advantage of the holiday season by spending some time to write your own list. This might help you find some inspiration:

  1. Your parents
  2. New and old friendships

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May.
