Positive Thoughts Week of 12/01/14

I've decided to reboot my Positive Thoughts series. I began writing things down last week. I meant to post these on Monday of this week, but the rest of 2014 continues to fly through my fingers like so many grains of sand... (poetic, eh?)

Positives week of 12/1/14:

• First things first, Thanksgiving vacation was great. We did so many fun things with the kids and with family, and I am so super thankful to have gotten to spend so much time my cousins - especially getting to bond a bit with my cousin Katy who I get to chat with or spend time with very often!
• My sister Lillie was a HUGE help on vacation with our kids. My kids and I are super lucky to have her.
• Sleeping in one's own bed is awesome.
• Even though I've been MIA a bit on the blog, I've been writing a lot. Both on my laptop and by hand. It feels good.
• Mike and I have spent lots of time together just talking about things, which we don't get to do very often.
• Wednesday of last week was the happiest I've been in years. There's was nothing special happening, just the usual stuff, but I was in a spectacular mood and that was the most amazing feeling.
• My whole weekend was spent hanging out with new friends and it was great!
• Despite the hangover, I was able to get lots of chores and errands done on Sunday and generally be a productive member of society.
