Feeling Grateful Part 3

I am hoping that if I try really hard and keep pushing then maybe I can finish this blog post by the end of February. My original plan was to finish by the end of January, but life happens.

Anyway, I hope you guys are having an awesome Thursday and if you are spending your weekend reading this then you are the real MVP or you have no life (like me). We're starting on day 15 with this part and powering through till the 21st. After that I think I am just going to power through till the 30th day in the next part instead of doing 2 short parts.

Feeling grateful for....

Day 15: A paid off car. I was fortunate enough that my mother deemed me worthy enough to buy a car for me for my 18th birthday/graduation. And to my credit, I still have the car 5 years later and we're going strong.

Day 16: A roof over my head. This may seem like it doesn't need elaborating on, but it's scary to think that there are some people who have to wonder where they are going to sleep everyday. So I am super grateful to know that I have a home to come back to even if everything else goes wrong. It's also a big, fat reality check when you realize how much houses are when you're trying to find one for yourself. So just don't do it. #adultingrealwell

Day 17: A coffee maker. Lol I am completely serious because I am sure we all have those mornings where you wake up and you really wonder if life's even worth it. And I think we all have a different fix for that sometimes. My power source and my drug of choice is coffee. It's what gets me going in the morning and keeps me awake to write these long blogs in the late hours at night. Without it, I have no earthly idea how I would function to be honest, but I always drink it in moderation. (Insert caffeine warning label real subtle).

Day 18: Airplanes. Also, another very strange one, but hear me out. Yes, I know airplanes are scary, but they've also done a lot of crazy cool things. Personally, I had never been on an airplane before in my life till last year. But the intensity of that trip and the amazingness of it sold me on flying forever. I love how airplanes have the ability to transport us wherever we want to go in a reasonable amount of time. I love how I was able to see my brother in a total flight time of 6 hours that would have been an entire day and a half of driving. I am grateful that my husband I will be able to go to Ireland and see its beauty even though an entire ocean separates us from it. Planes are cool.

Day 19: A cuddly friend. I love all my furbabies and really it doesn't matter what kind of animal to me because I love them all. Animals make me feel better when I'm depressed or sad. They also take up all my personal space and all my money, but they never judge you for what you do. So take your cat, dog, hamster, lizard, whatever and love it to death because they're always there for you.

Day 20: A quiet Saturday at home. This goes without saying especially for me. I am like super antisocial, but honestly nothing beats having no responsibilities and having the freedom to stay at home with my cats and my husband and not having to worry about anything for 24 hours.

Day 21: An internet connection. Something else that probably goes without saying. I understand that the Internet has spoiled a lot of us and should definitely be considered a luxury, but when I think of all the great things I can do because of the Internet, it is something a little awe inspiring. Email allows me to stay close to people who are far away, and it also allows me to communicate with employers and professors without leaving the comfort of my home. Online gaming keeps me entertained, but also sane during long hard hours of work and complete solitude. YouTube is also a beautiful thing that keeps me sane and helps me pass the time when I'm getting ready in the morning. YouTube has even kept my kids preoccupied and learning at the same time in the classroom so I owe everything to Internet at this point.

Thank you for sticking through to the end guys and we only have one more post to go!
