gratitude

a list of things that i'm thankful for 




All Saints Coffee Shop
It’s the first place I liked in Tallahassee. There’s something incredibly comforting about knowing that there’s a place that serves really good dirty chai & is open all night. 

Books
At the risk of sounding like a massive dork, I will standby the fact that books are easily one of the most important things to me. 

Cru
I am so incredibly thankful for the grace, support & truth that I have received from this ministry. 

Daniel
I’ll just say this, “thankful” doesn’t even begin to sum it up.

Education
I’m privileged to go to a credited university where I’m working towards what I’ve wanted to do since I was 8. 

Family
There was a moment while I was sitting in my living room, listening to my parents and sister bicker over ice cream, when I realized how much I had really missed them. 

God

A bit obvious here, but entirely worth writing.

Home
Being home for Thanksgiving was the first time I’d been home all semester. I missed the little things & the people that I associate with it. 

Indoor Plants 
Not kidding, these make all the difference. 

Journaling 
Okay, if you know me then I’ve probably had a conversation with you about how much journaling means to me. It’s helped me to become more honest, creative & introspective. I am so so thankful for deciding, upon a whim, to buy a leather bound book & start writing. 

Kate 
One of my favorite people in this world. I’m thankful for her optimism, courage and kindness.

Live music 
This year alone I’ve been able to see two of my favorite artists perform live. 

Manatees 
My favorite animal. I can’t help but feel calm whenever I see them.

New Hampshire 
I spent my childhood spending summers in a green cottage at the end of a long gravel road. That lake house is a safe place in a beautiful area, what more could I ask for?

October 
It’s a good month. That simple. 

PETCO
The name designated to a group of people that mean the world to me.

Quotes
Asking someone what their favorite quote is tells a lot about a person. 

Rain
My favorite weather.

Spotify
Mondays are worth it for my Discover Weekly playlist alone.

Three One One Four 
The number of my apartment. It’s never dull but I’m thankful for the craziness of where I’m living. 

Under the Bridge 
The place where Natalie and I slept in a unzipped sleeping bag, ate dried pineapple & talked about basically everything under the sun. 

Vastness
The sky & the ocean. I’m learning to embrace how much it scares me. 

Westside Wildcats
My small group. What an incredible group of women that exemplify the love of Christ. I am proud of their growth & honesty. 

X-rays
Basically this could be summed up as the fact that I’ve never had one. So I’m thankful for my health. 

Yellowstone
I’ve only been here once before but I still consider it to be one of the most magical of family vacations. Huckleberry ice cream, giant swirling vats of bubbling color & wading knee deep in water with caribou. 

Zoos 
Ah childhood.
