At the risk of sounding cliche… I truly am so very grateful for our veterans. I love that our country honors our vets and their families so highly. The sacrifices they make reach a degree we cannot even imagine and simply saying “thank you” never seems like enough.

To the vets in my personal life, I love you and I am so very proud to be a part of your family. I am proud of the sacrifices you have made and the incredible honor you have earned. You are some of my greatest heros.

Thank you to all the vets out there who sacrifice and fight for our freedom.

I am so thankful for the chiropractor. I had never been to a chiro before this pregnancy but I have seen great improvement in my aches and pains since I started going. If you are a local, check out my chiro, Dr. Likins. He will take great care of you!

Today I am grateful for a flexible schedule. I’ve said this before… but I continue to be so very thankful for the opportunity I have to work for myself. It is not a typical lifestyle in our country… at least not with such flexibility. But I am passionate about encouraging others to do what they can to add quality to their lives. If that means living debt free so that you are free to follow your dreams or travel the world, or if it simply means to work for yourself so you have the flexibility to lead the life you want.

Grateful today for a healthy body…. with all four limbs and the ability to run if I need to. Today Tommy completed the MMTR 50+ Miler and I couldn’t be more proud or inspired by his accomplishment. All I can think of is how grateful I am for the ability to do whatever we put our minds to.

So very thankful today for time to rest. I am also very glad Tommy is feeling good (albeit sore) and has energy after his big race.

I am so glad Tommy has Mondays off. They are our personal Saturday together (since I often work Saturdays or we have events to attend)… Monday is the day we run errands and eat lunch and generally participate in productive activity together, uninterrupted. I love it.

So glad that our little pups are beginning to finally come back around after Red moved back home. It has actually been a whole week since we received a little present on the bathroom floor… something that had been happening almost daily for a while there. (I know, that’s a little TMI, but I am REALLY grateful it’s not happening anymore.) We love these little ups and can only hope they will adjust to a new baby a lot better than they (never really) adjusted to Red.

Today I am grateful for having inspiration right outside of my window. I find I am so inspired by the weather and the changing seasons. The change, the freshness of something new… I never desire to get out and photograph more than I do during the changing of seasons. I am grateful for four seasons and how much they inspire me.

More to come, I’m sure. I’ve plenty of time while I sit and wait for baby. <3

Today I am grateful for last night’s Girl’s Night Out. One of my closest friends, Carrie, came into town for the night and we treated ourselves to dinner and dessert in downtown Lynchburg. It was a long overdue get together full of intimate conversation and tons of smiles. Something I really needed.

I feel refreshed and grateful.

The basic premise is that I will be blogging daily about something I am thankful for. I hope to have photos to accompany these things… but I am keeping expectations low. I’m sure I’ll fall behind, I mean, I’m hopeful there will be a wonderful distraction that shows up right in the middle of the month. But I plan to come back and catch up as needed.

11/1/11 – November Thankful Project

Today I am grateful for the little fact that I can work from home with my feet up and my PJs on. I’m still dealing with end-of-pregnancy-swelling and there’s nothing better than putting my feet up while also getting work done, as well as having the opportunity to take a break whenever I need to get up and get my blood flowing.

I seriously can’t wait for the day that I can see my ankle bones again. Maybe that’ll be something I’m thankful for near the end of the month.
