Thankful Thursdays.

“I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."
-Walt Whitman

Similar to my "Man in Suit Chronicles" (which you can read every Monday) I have decided to start a new segment.  For lack of a less creative phrase, I am going to stick with "Thankful Thursdays" (Thursday, Thanksgiving, you get the picture).  As human beings we become wrapped up in all the coulda, woulda, shoulda that we forget about all we have now.  Being grateful sounds so very simple, doesn't it?  Yet, in reality so few of us actually know how to show gratefulness.  I'll admit, I'm guilty of this as well.  Therefore, every Thursday this little blog will capture at least one thing I am grateful/thankful for.  Seems easy, right?  Plus, with everything going on in the world this is a good way to stay grounded, to stay positive.  Always look for the silver lining.  Instead of focusing on the things I am yet to accomplish, yet to achieve, I will embrace all the wonderful things I have right now.  And, I could not think of a better way to kick off this segment than to share how thankful I am for this boy (see picture above and pictures below).  This boy I have, man, he is special.  Thank you, husband.  Thank you so much.  Thank you for everything.  For what you have done, for what you do and for all you will do.  Over the last eight (almost nine) years you have taught me so much about myself.  You've made me realize that I am much stronger than I ever thought I could be.  You inspire and support me (even when you don't necessarily agree).  You've pushed me to start this blog (thank you, thank you, I should have listened sooner).  And, honestly, you put up with me (which is like a feat in-and-of-itself).  Being married to you is better than I imagined.  Thank you for all the laughs.  Thank you for all the ways in which you make me realize that I too will pave my own path (I just need to take a deep breath and relax, it will happen soon enough).  Thank you for believing in me, I couldn't do it without you.  You truly are my number one fan.  I love you!
