On September first I started keeping a new journal for "little things." You know, things that make up my everyday life but aren't the things I'd write about in my long, heart-pouring-out journal. I wanted to be able to record this stage in life for my own memory's sake and for the sake of my future children.
One thing I started doing was writing five things I'm thankful for every day, and trying not to repeat myself. (I definitely have accidentally repeated a few things, but that's okay =]) Then one of my friends on facebook suggested each of us posting something we're thankful for every day on facebook, and it has been so amazing to see all of my blessings and other people's, too. Today I couldn't write just one thing though - so I decided it would be a good blog post instead. :)
Today I'm thankful for...
Being homeschooled, and all that I'm studying this year.

| I love my books! |
My cozy couch, with the wood stove nearby and my dog sleeping next to me - perfect place to peacefully do school.
My brothers and all my friends who are soon coming home for Thanksgiving, and for texting that allows me to keep connected with them regularly.

| This was 5 years ago! I miss those days! |
Morning and evening devotions - a chance to start and end my day by setting my mind straight.

My birthstone ring dad got me four years ago

| The most beautiful ring ever, I think :) |
The holidays that are coming soon - Thanksgiving and then soon Christmas!!

| The biggest Christmas tree we've ever gotten :) |
I am blessed, and I am grateful :)
