A Thankful Life is a Happy Life.
Sometimes it’s good to take the time to think about what exactly you’re thankful for. It makes a happy life, and we could all use a happier life, yes?
Good books. The kind that you fall asleep reading and want to pick them back up the second you wake up.
Warm weather. Because even as an adult with a job that does not get summer break (but why???), there’s still something about summertime that’s just more laid back and alive and carefree.
Coffee. Always coffee.
Learning to live in the present. Planning is good, and planning is my favorite, but I’m learning that you get 24 hours at a time to make as adventurous or as productive or as relaxing as you want. You literally only get one day at a time, so I’m learning how to live one day at a time to get the most out of life.
Little joys. Last week I wrote about getting more excited over the little things. I was cooking dinner yesterday, and this beauty was right outside my window!
What are YOU thankful for this week?

I need to remember to live more in the present. I've spent the whole morning making plans for summer rather than focussing on today!
Amen, girl! Thankful is the only way to live!
Love your list š You have a gorgeous view and that rainbow would have absolutely made my day, too!
always always thankful for coffee!!! aaamen!!
ALWAYS coffee. also that rainbow picture is incredible!
thank goodness for coffee! and good books š i just finished 'the girl on the train.' if you are a fiction lover, i recommend it! happy wednesday!
Wow that is one perfect rainbow! It really is all about the little things… š
LOVE that rainbow, the little things are always the best things. I'm thankful for being able to put Ethan to bed each night and get a special hug. He always is SO sweet before bed time, so even when he's growing up so quickly I cherish those special little moments.
Nothing better than a good book…though I am definitely one who will stay up way past my bedtime finishing it!
Ooh, good one! I am thankful for the Van Morrison Pandora station, warmer weather on the horizon, great workouts, and awesome friends to hang out with.
Open windows + coffee + good books = best Saturday mornings ever.
I agree. I don't know what I'd do without coffee.
Agreed – I'm so thankful for coffee, warm weather, and the blooming flowers.
WOW! That rainbow is amazing!!! I'm thankful for my mom and boyfriend–they've been amazing this past 24 hours and I couldn't live without em!
This is DEFINITELY a week for coffee š Too many choco bunnies
That rainbow is amazing!
I definitely find myself overwhelmed with gratefulness when I look at the sunsets in my backyard sometimes. I don't know what I did to have that view.
I will ALWAYS be thankful for books.
Loving all the positivity in these parts! And YES to summertime and warmer weather. I just feel more alive this time of year, the days are longer and I'm much more active and there's so much more to do š
Getting excited about little things is such a good way to be! Because then you get to be excited all the time, so why not?
I love the photo you used for the main photo and that rainbow outside of your window…AMAZING (:
I am thankful for being able to pick up the pieces after they all fall apart. And I am also thankful for forgiveness.
I definitely need to take more time to appreciate all the little things. This was a great upbeat read and it couldn't have come at a better time for me. I needed this little boost! Thanks so much!

All of the above š I love this post, these are all things that I need to focus on enjoying more (yes, even coffee!). I've been in a slump lately, in all honesty, and posts like these give me a re-boot and make me feel optimistic š Thank you so much for sharing…I'll do my best to stop and appreciate these a little more!

What a beautiful sight to see while you were cooking! This week I'm thankful for feeling a little "homesick" for Montana after visiting the mountains the last week and I'm incredibly thankful for my pup, who has been my BFF (well, she's always my BFF) this week because I've been feeling a little under the weather and we were separated for a week. š
