Gratitude List, August 2023

Before I started writing these posts, I never really sat down and thought, purposefully, about the good things going on in my life. I really like doing it, though - sitting down and reflecting on everything going on, and highlighting the many good things that have happened, big or small. And with that being said, here's my gratitude list for the month.

Gratitude List, June 2023

I'm writing this on a day off from work, which puts me in a pretty good mood to be writing a gratitude post, honestly!

I've also really tried to use my weekend time to relax, too. All of these things have left me feeling much more content overall, which has been a really nice feeling. In turn, it hasn't felt like a struggle to find things that I feel grateful for. So here's what's on my gratitude list this month.

Gratitude List, January 2023

I have the winter blahs in January (...and in February!), so there's really no better time for a gratitude list. I could really use the reminder to focus on the good instead of complaining about the early dark and the gloominess that's been somewhat of a constant in Pittsburgh lately. So here's what I'm currently feeling grateful for.
