thankful thursdays {7}

hey hey hey!
hope you all are having a happy thursday!
i know it's been a golden one for me...
here's a list of a few things I've been thankful for this week:

a friday night spent with cherished old friends
screaming my little lungs out at Lagoon with 5 of my best buddies
waking up with no voice the next day
turquoise toes
a much-needed baking day & movie night with my momma
lasagna and catch phrase with friends
finally getting a chance to see Invictus
cookies for breakfast
phone dates with friends across the globe
my aunt's speedy recovery after a big health scare
tea season is finally here!
sleepy mornings + silly conversations with the goonies
not getting as much work in over fall break as I'd planned
a fun shopping date with allie
+ the green pea coat I scored
a long lunch date with jasa (one of my dearest heart-friends)
being known for who I really am, and loved just the same
good news from a faraway friend
some alone time... i need it every now & again
dancing in the kitchen to old camp songs with my sissy
a lovely update email from the lovely shannon
just for some space to breathe

"Thou hast given so much to me,

Give one thing more, - a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart whose pulse may be Thy praise."
~George Herbert
