The best part of the Best Year Ever

Changing my mentality to make this the best year ever has resulted in an unexpected side effect. I wake up every day thankful.

Thankful for the joy in my home
Thankful for the sorrows that teach me lessons
Thankful for the opportunity to make each day special
Thankful that I am still taking breaths
Thankful I wake up each day in a happy home

I've spent a lot of time in my life looking toward the future. This year, I spent a majority of my time present in each moment. This year, I am thankful to live in the moment and to be truly ALIVE.

Happy Thanksgiving.

This is lovely, Laura! What a wonderful post for us to reflect on for Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful holiday!

Laura! I LOVE you! Seriously. Your post could not have been written at a better time. I've had a pretty shitty year. I don't blog about it because I don't want to sound negative. BUT...I recently have started trying to take everything that happens and try to see the positive in it. And it's working. Your 'best year ever" is proof positive that it IS possible to make it work. I love reading your posts and seeing your gorgeous photos! (and as a side note...you met Sadia???? JEALOUS!).

You know what I'm thankful for today? Other twin Mamas that tell it like it is and keep the rest of us laughing and seeing the joy that surrounds us! *HUGS*

PS - I'll be sending you an email re: photography soon. I broke my ENTIRE camera and need to start from scratch. I need some advice!

Happy happy Thanksgiving to an inspiring friend! (And I love that my word verification is "givers.")
