30 Days of Thanks // Week 4

November 30, 2019 by Lisa Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the last installment of my 30 Days of Thanks! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Day 23: Animals

I am thankful for these two tabbies every single day.

Zara and Mukki keep me going. Their habits and patterns are reliable and really comforting. They keep me on track and they provide me with a lot of love and joy. These two are the lights of my life and I’m so grateful for them and their hijinks.

Day 24: Humor

This September I went to see Rachel Bloom in concert with two friends. It was the best $60 I spent all year.

I truly don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard. So thanks to Rachel Bloom for being a hilarious genius (and to Nicole and Katie for having great taste in comedy!).

Day 25: Snacks

I take snacking fairly seriously. It’s part of my job after all. And I’m so thankful for that!

Day 26: Earth

The past few years, Michael and I have taken transforming our yard pretty seriously. We’ve planted all native flowers and shrubs—all of which are pollinator-friendly (we’ve even registered our tiny yard with the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge). It’s one small thing we can do to help our planet. I’m thankful I’ve got a partner that’s on the same page as me with this.

Day 27: Merriment

I can’t tell you how thankful I am for family and friends that know how to have a good time.

I’ve got a crew that knows that the simple joys—like pull tabs (see above), bar trivia and bottomless chips and salsa—are where it’s at.

Day 28: Family

I’ve got an amazing family. I don’t know a group of people that manages to be so incredibly thoughtful and so absolutely funny. I’m thankful to the Brannans, Michaleks, Kaminskis and Stocks who make this fam so wonderful.

Day 29: Dreams

Running my own business is my biggest dream. I daydream about it a lot.

I’m not sure that Kaminski Handicraft is the business that could ever take me there full time, but I’m thankful I’ve got something of my own on the side to satisfy me.

Day 30: Self

Always a journey here, but this year has been a good one for me. Always room for improvement, but I’m thankful for a good year in personal development.

Also thanks to my mom for snapping this photo which is pretty much the ideal version of myself.
