In the spirit of Thanksgiving and my age, here’s a list of 24 things I’m thankful for:
- I’m thankful to have such a supportive family & amazing siblings who are also hilarious
- for technology to talk with the fam from afar on Thanksgiving!
- good books to read + audio books (harry potter was such a delight to get lost in!)
- to not have to worry about water, electricity, or other necessities
- good, supportive friends ❤
- my trusty North Face rain jacket which has kept me dry for over a year now — hey I use it on a near-daily basis
- free yoga videos online + the ability to practice yoga
- having a swimming pool nearby & time to go swimming – really essential for my mental health during the long winter months
- having time to pursue creative work
- for the generosity of acquaintances who have let me borrow a mattress and bedding for the past two months
- for pumpkin, so I could make a pumpkin cheesecake pie
- I’m thankful to just be alive & healthy & that family members are also healthy & doing ok
- I’m thankful I get to go home for Christmas & thankful I get to enjoy the Christmas markets here in Austria!
- coffee 🙂 ❤
- tea — especially tea for sore throats
- oh and good dark chocolate, of course 😉
- the used (but new for me) laptop that makes it a lot easier for me to blog and therefore write
- for the ability to walk and bike and run and move
- for the polaroid camera which is a lot of fun, even if it is partially broken
- for such an amazing place to live that makes me feel comfortable — home away from home
- music, which brings so much joy and wonder
- Netflix, internet, & that whole sort of thing
- A washing machine in my apartment (no going up and down stairs even. Amazing.)
- mountains everywhere ❤
What are you thankful for?
xo,
Sarah

I’m thankful for you, Sarah, and the precious years I could be at home with all my children. What a privilege! I’m thankful for great books to read and impromptu a cappella singing of Christmas carols and that my mom and dad have made it to celebrate 50 years of faithful, sacrificial marriage. Love you!
Thanks mom ❤ love you!
“music, which brings so much joy and wonder”
Love that. And you. 😉 ❤
