Thankful Monday

I have noticed that over the past couple of weeks I have been feeling sad. Maybe it's because within just a couple weeks of each other, two different sets of best friends from Utah came down to visit me and just drained me of all my happiness due to how much I enjoyed having them here. And who knows when I even get to see them again!?

Whenever I get into this rut, I try to remember to be thankful. I'm not always great with my words, but sometimes it helps me to actually write it out. So, here's my list for today:

• I have recently been able to hang out with my incredible friends from Utah that I miss each and everyday.
• I have a job.
• I have a bed to sleep in, food to eat, and a car to drive.
• My laptop still works after 5+ years of having it (and it runs the same as it did the first day I got it. Thank you, Apple). 
• There is a man that I am lucky enough to call my boyfriend and he accepts how weird I am and holds me through all of my pointless tears.
• Dinner consisted of an oatmeal-banana pancake with peanut butter and strawberry jam. And boy was it de - wait for it - lightful.
• I went an entire winter without seeing one snowflake.
• I've had the ability to do Insanity (the workout) and only have less than two weeks left!
• I get to go climbing for free.
• Disneyland is right around the corner. 
• My parents and my family are the coolest.
• I have the two cutest nieces ever. In the history of the world.
• There's a thing called air-conditioning.
• Pictures of cute animals.
