Thankfulness Thursday || Week Two

Another week has passed by. And it's now time for another Thankfulness Thursday post! 

• wood-stove. to lay by and feel all cozy, with a good book, a cup of tea, and hear the rain outside. it's a beautiful feeling. <3 
• siblings. I have a different relationship with each one of my siblings. and they mean the world to me. built in friends. if it wasn't for them, I'd be so lonely. 
• smiles. guys, I love to see people smile. and I love it when I realize I'm smiling and don't even know it. So many times this week I have been asked, "what are you grinning about?" and me being the person I am I say, "I don't remember". *laughs* but really. moments like that make me smile even bigger. 
• food. 'nuf said. 
• memories. I've been told I have a really good memory. and I'm definitely thankful for that. when I get lonely or sad, I re-live the wonderful memories I've made in my life. Bowling till midnight. the wind in my face as we drive up the 30-minute-long driveway to Grandpa's Ranch. the monkee walk in boston. riding around in Kirsten's jeep, with the top off, drinking watermelon Italian Soda, and, oh, the jeep hair.  dancing in the rain. the swing at Grandpa and Grandma's (in NH). riding around in "Nellybelle" and singing at the top of my lungs. laying on the couch at Chet and Carla's. riding Buzz, all memories of that horse are wonderful. doing hair on Thanksgiving day with cousins, aunts, and music. the funny things my cousins say and make me laugh. learning to drive a stick. oh the trips to the store to buy Arizona's, LaKaysha counting heads, Tyrel telling her everybody was there, Dustin walking through the store yelling "The bus is leaving in five minutes!!", then we'd all pile our stuff on the counter and point to one person, "they're paying". 

What are YOU thankful for this week?
