Thankful.

Hello all!:)

I can't believe it's already November... Time is going way too fast! Before we know it it will be Spring break and I'll be on my way to HAWAII to visit Jessica!!! But anyways, don't let the spirit of the upcoming holidays let you forget about the importance of being THANKFUL. 

I've found that when you're going through a rough time, you need to appreciate what you have instead of focusing on what you don't. This has helped me tremendously with finding my individual happiness, and something I'm going to try to make happen on a regular basis!

A few things I'm thankful for are...

1.My family. Even though I don't always feel like having a conversation when they call, they always find a way to motivate me and refocus my attention on what really matters. Dan also ALWAYS brightens my day by sending me pictures of baby Baxter being a goof.

2. My friends. I am so blessed to have such great people in my life who I can literally say, "I'm coming with you tonight" when I don't have any plans, and have someone to text when I say... " I don't want to go by myself, will you come with me?" Without them to drag me out of the house some nights, I would be sitting at home watching Netflix and drinking wine by myself:p

3.Teaching/coaching. Although it's hard work, it is very rewarding. I'm reminded on a daily basis that I influence my girls thoughts, choices, and passions while they help shape my leading abilities. It's not always easy making some of the decisions I have to make,but it helps me realize that you have to pick your battles carefully and sometimes you need to surrender.

4.Starbucks. Without caffeine I couldn't do everything I have to do. Thanks for your daily support;)

I'm thankful for many more things, but these were the most relevant from this past week!

Challenge for you: Contact someone you haven't kept in touch with and let them know you are thinking of them. A few people have done that with me lately, and it put a smile on my face istantly:) Remember that everyone is busy, but relationships are much more valuable than money and materialistic things. Take the time to text a friend instead of a tweet!

Have a wonderful day,

-Ms. Wright
