I’ve been a kind of stressed, tired and even a little angry lately. Not overall, but here and there. So the best thing I can think to do is step back and partake in “Thankful Thursday.”

I’m thankful for:

• Office coffee. I actually look forward to it on my way into work. The first sip puts me in the mood to start working.
• A tall husband. I love Brad, and would still love him if he were short, but that foot+ that he has on me in height comes in majorly handy. Especially since I can’t even reach the above the fridge cabinet while standing on a stool.
• A nosy neighbor. I was carrying my mom’s birthday present (a hanging flower basket) into the apartment building and ran into my neighbor. “That’s a pretty flower,” she told me and I could tell that she was curious why I had it. I just replied thanks and stepped onto the elevator. It was a nice confirmation that I’d picked a pleasant plant for my mom.
• Ruffles and colors.
  I feel a little more bold, stylish and feminine when I wear my ruffled shirts. And I’ve been successfully incorporating more color reds, blues, pinks and purples into my typically black, white, gray and green wardrobe.
  

  Not sure I’ll incorporate hats into my style just yet

What are you thankful for today?
