Life gets crazy and I’m no professional blogger- not sure who even reads this (hi, mom!)- so here is December / January / and February blog post all in one! A Dejabruary blog if you will. Found that just listing some things I’m thankful for helps shift my mood around no matter what state I’m in so here is 20 things I have been thankful for the last three months!
United Skates of America- not a typo, you read that correctly.
Mr. Bruce career, vocation, calling specialist- and for realizing that I have high idea productivity, interpersonal relationships, and I’m motivated by influencing people. Not sure how to translate that but excited to find out!
Christmas break and driving 26 hours straight to Colorado
Genogram papers and interviews. Had a longer conversation with my dad than I’ve had in my whole life probably
Starting counseling for the second time with someone who really gets me and helps me talk through things!
Learning that I’m decently average at foosball and Big Buck Hunter arcade game
Taking a lot of people rock climbing for the first time. Been fun to watch friends enjoy something I like and see them conquer their fears
Secret Santa- Melon if you see this you know me so well.
SNOW! Snowball fights, snowmen, getting stuck in the Lake Gaston driveway, etc.
Running- new hobby but loving it! Foot still going numb 3 miles in but here’s to 13.1!
Random 70 degree weather days. I think winter is behind us and feels like everyone is coming out of hiding with the warm weather approaching.
Being outside more! I feel more myself again!
Church of the Apostles Women’s Retreat- for surprising me in so many ways! I kind of love all those wonderful white-haired women I met!
The Miedemas- for letting me basically be their second host fellow for a week straight #Covid. Thanks Queer Eye for sponsoring those sleepovers!
Suzy the puppy. Yeah thats all.
New classes - Eric. Eddie, Scotty, brain feeling full!
Helping Melon find her perfect gown- HELLOWEARETHEBRIDETRIBE
Dreaming of the future! Scary but good all at once- so excited to see what chapter unfolds next and getting the chance to choose
Raleigh friends- fellows feels like just a small slice of the goodness in Raleigh and I’m grateful I have so much to love about the nut city!
The Raleigh Fellows- not sure how I came to love each of them so deeply, but grateful for the opportunity to know them.
That’s all. See you all again helpfully before the end of the year :P
