Taking My Time (#198)

The very last item on every single list so far has to do with living in the present and today I felt like I did that. I wasn’t concerned about anything other what was right in front of me and it felt good, I felt at peace. I’m grateful for the people who have taught me those lessons and who remind me of them when needed.

Today I’m Grateful For…

1. Summer bonfires
2. Clean laundry
3. Organized music
4. A good pen
5. My SwiftKick internship
6. Visiting my sister in NY
7. Delicious street food
8. Shade on a hot day
9. Bandaids and sunscreen
10. The smell of fresh cut grass
11. Souvenirs from friends
12. Talking things out
13. The sound of rain on my window
14. BSU Spring Carnival
15. A hot shower
16. Reliable people
17. My beard in the winter
18. Holding hands in the car
19. Making new friends
