A cute print and learning to be thankful everyday…

The other day I was spending a little too much time on pinterest and stumbled across this cute Give Thanks print…and I decided it would be cute to give one away for Thanksgiving!…It’s not too fall/thanksgiving looking though so you could keep it up all year to remind you to be thankful everyday… After reading the book 1000 Gifts that I talked about in this post, one of the things I’ve been working on this year is living a life full of gratitude…not just on Thanksgiving, but everyday! Although Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because it’s such a good reminder to not only treasure the things in life that are really important like family, but also to be thankful for the little things that are so easy to take for granted…and obviously it’s also a good excuse to eat too much food without feeling guilty about it…

This year, today and everyday, I’m really thankful for: my family, friends, and relationship with Jesus…That I get to be married to my best friend and live in a city that I love!…my church family…coffee in a pretty mug…the smell of fall scented candles and apple cider on the stove…I’m thankful for pictures of loved ones in pretty frames…I’m thankful to have food on the table and a roof over my head…And this year I’m especially thankful for all of my sweet friends and clients who have helped me start to build my business over the past year, who support me, trust me to capture important moments in their lives, and for those who read my blog…I love you all and appreciate you so much!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Ryan and I!! We hope you are getting to enjoy some good time with your families!

To enter the give away all you have to do is like this post on my blog and leave a comment saying what your favorite thanksgiving food is! I’ll pick a random winner on Monday!
