It's no secret that November is the time of year

when we start remember all the things we are thankful for in our lives.

Although I believe shedding light on these thankful things

should take place on a daily basis, it is always good to know

that November and Thanksgiving comes around and reminds us to do so 

when our lives have become a chaotic mess throughout the year.

Here are the things that I give my greatest 'thanks' to...

my husband 

and his unwavering love and affection

all the things he does for our little family

and the support I receive from him every. single. day. 

our sweet puppy shelby 

we adopted her the day after Christmas last year

and it was been a wild and amazing adventure

her quirks and cuddles warm my heart

our home

our little two bedroom condo has become

safe haven for us to return to after a long hard day

it gets a little cramped a times but it is ours and we love it

luxuries

cars. jobs. food. hot showers. clothes

these are luxuries in my opinion

these are things that not all people have

I am always thankful that I can have a full belly,

steady income, and place to wash myself at the end of the day 

nature

I love the outdoors and looking at all

the spectacles that nature has given us

fresh air, trees, wild flowers, weather

not so abundant in southern california

but when I have the chance to explore - i take it
