Thankful This Tuesday

Lately, I have been thinking about how lucky I am in life. Maybe I have become more aware of this because of the situations and scenarios I hear about at school, out in public, or on TV. It could be that I am hyper-focusing on all of these aspects because I am truly and honestly trying to make this Easter more meaningful than others in the past. Or it could also be due to my cousin's recent post on her blog about the importance of family and the uniqueness of my family (to see that blog post read it here!) Whatever the reason or reasons, I have decided to highlight what I am thankful for this Tuesday. 

Thankful Item #1: My husband's constant love, support and supply of humor :) I honestly don't know what I would do without him. He compliments me SO WELL, and is pretty much the only person who knows how to calm me down. The sacrifices he has made so that we can be together is something that I will always cherish. 

Thankful Item #2: My family and the connections we have. I am so lucky to have such an amazing family (including my in-laws). I know that I am fortunate to have such a big support system, and to know there are multiple people who will always be there for me. I know that so many people are without family, and my heart aches for them. I will forever treasure my family.  

Thankful Item #3: My co-workers. Honestly, I don't know what I would do without my co-workers. There are many days where I need to vent, and I am so thankful I have friends at school that will listen to me complain! My co-workers are always there when I need advice, whether it be school related or not. Since we all spend so much of our time at work, I think it is so important to recognize those who are there for us outside our home/family.

Thankful Item #4: Having all the basic necessities of life and my overall health. While I could always work out more (or work out in general haha) and eat more healthily, I am so lucky that I am healthy. I am also lucky that I have a roof over my head, food at my table, and a warm bed to rest in at night. So many people are without these basic necessities, and while we might think we need" more, it's important to remember those without.

Thank you for reading today! :) I am glad that I decided to write this post. When I am having a bad day or a difficult time, I can just look at this post and remind myself of the good things in my life. I also think it's important to be thankful not just during holidays, but on "normal" days. Otherwise, you might not be as appreciative of those items if you only remember them once in a while. 

What are you thankful for on this Tuesday? I would love to hear from you!
