Today is my birthday! I don’t normally make a big deal out of it most years but in 2020, I’m leaning into anything that gives me joy! I was trying to think of something to post for my birthday, and after some thinking, I decided on a list of things I’ve been grateful for in the past year. The majority of the year since my last birthday has been spent in quarantine, away from friends and family. Somehow I’ve been able to really focus on what I’m grateful for in this time and today I’m sharing a list of 28 of those things in honor of my 28th birthday! These are in no particular order.
- My husband, John, who puts up with all my shenanigans
- My supportive family
- Comfy clothes to lounge around in
- Take out food
- Taylor Swift and her music
- Colorful pens
- My students and their sweet families
- Social media to stay connected
- Clean water to drink
- My snuggly cats
- My two sweet nephews
- Poshmark for both buying and selling
- My priority planner
- Rachel Hollis’ motivation
- Gretchen Rubin’s books and motivation
- 7 minute workout app
- Video chatting
- Fun masks
- My kind coworkers
- Dunkin’ iced coffee
- Running
- Books
- My cozy house
- Grey’s Anatomy
- My new car
- The Happy Headband Co. headbands to give me cute hairstyles on crazy hair days
- Revel Nail dipped manicures
- Hot or iced chai lattes
Question of the Day: What are you grateful for?
Happy birthday!! I love this list. Some of the things I'm grateful for is Bailey, Revel dip manicures (which side note that Facebook group is crazy right now haha), chai lattes, and my new house.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day filled with a Dunkin iced coffee and a chai latte :)
Thank you so much!! Those are all good things to be grateful for! I totally agree the Revel group is getting crazy lol people are buying SO much!
DeleteI started my day with a chai latte and I think an iced coffee will be in my future after work :)
The group is giving me life hahah. It's insane and I'm over here with my 2 colors.
DeleteYou're welcome! Sounds like a great start to a birthday to me :)
