24 Years & 24 Reason I'm Thankful
Updated: Jul 5, 2020
With so many big plans coming up in the near future, I often find myself spending so much more time making plans for the weeks & months to come than appreciating what & who has gotten me this far.

As I reflect on the last year of my life in anticipation of my 24th birthday, I can't help but think about all of the things and people that have made this year so special.
I'd like to dedicate these words of gratitude to my friends and family, who truly add so much abundance to my life I am often overwhelmed with how much love I am surrounded with.
In honor of 24 trips around the sun, here are 24 things that I'm grateful for in this beautiful life:
Dog cuddles & kisses (esp. from Stella)
Friendships that last despite time & space apart (y'all know who you are)
The opportunity to move across the country with my best friend/boyfriend
Southern fast food (LOL)
A new season of Selling Sunset
Having a mom who doubles as a best friend
Chocolate milkshakes
Drinking coffee on a Saturday morning
Finding a new favorite book
Octobers
True crime podcasts
Practicing yoga
The anticipation of waiting for a package to arrive in the mail
Diet Coke
Late night trips to Target
Traveling & new experiences
Family camping trips
Wine & Bachelor nights with my girls (we are very ready for Matt James to bless our TV screens every week)
Learning something new
Graphic tees
The perfect playlist (usually one I've made myself)
Catching up with a good friend
Creative writing
Another birthday.
"Do not forget a single blessing." - Psalm 103:2

I hope this has given you an ounce of inspiration to reflect on life's blessings. It sure does feel good! Don't forget to be thankful for the little things.
Entirely,
B
