Happy Birthday, Ned! (#264)

09.12.18

The old man turns 11. One year again today, I adopted Eddard Stark Ames but I like to call him Ned for short. He’s not the friendliest but he sure knows how to cuddle. He’s an old man set in his ways but has brought love and affection to my family and me. When I adopted Ned, I wasn’t sure how my parents would react. They weren’t thrilled about the idea but I think they realize how special Ned is. He’s always around to listen and can appreciate a good piece of ham. Looking forward to spending many more birthdays with my cat Ned.

Today I’m Grateful For…

Time with my cat
Rainy days inside
Sleeping in
Snow days off from work
Mellow music and rain mixes
Time at the gym
Clean water
My mom for watching Ned all summer
Safe travels
Time to journal and reflect
Talking things out
The feeling after you brush your teeth
A clean apartment
Visiting family in California
Honesty
Time for photography
Nighttime stretches
Gratitude
Warm water with lemon
Making new friends
Having new experiences
The community of bloggers on WordPress
Good directions
Chipotle
The here and now

As always, check out my first blog, 25 Things I’m Grateful For (#1) to know why I’m writing this list and why I want you to start yours.
