30 Days of Thanks: The Guy (Day 2)

He’s an extrovert and I’m an introvert, it’s weird but it works. He’s my best friend, he let’s me be myself, he’s patient with me, he works hard, he makes me laugh, he comforts me, he’s unbelievable thoughtful and kind, he’s considerate, he’s mild tempered and careful with his words. We’re different in so many ways but alike in so many others, today and everyday I’m thankful for my guy.

30 Days of Thanks: Life (Day 1)

Hey Butterflies. So since it’s November and Thanksgiving is in a few weeks, I decided I wanted to do a “30 Days of Thanks” short post series. Often times it’s hard to see the good things that are going on around us because we’re so consumed with everything that’s going wrong in our life. Each day for the month of November I’m going to share something positive about my day that I’m thankful for. So... when it comes to sports most of my favorite teams are in New York ( i.e. the Yankees and the New York Giants) because I love NY but I’m forever loyal to my hometown teams first. Today I’m thankful for my hometown baseball team; the Houston Astros defeated the LA Dodgers and became World Series Champions for the first time in their franchise history. Go Astros!

30 Days of Thanks (2017)

Life is full of overwhelming, unexpected, and unfair situations but choosing to find little specs of goodness in everything that’s going on around you is how you acquire happiness. I decided I want to write more about the little things that get me through the days, bringing me joy that’s oftentimes overlooked or taken for granted. 

Since it’s November, what better month would there be to show life some gratitude? Here’s my 30 Days of Gratitude 2017.
