Day 12: 30 Days of thanks

Today I am thankful for generosity. A friend and I were at a used bookstore and I went to throw some trash away and I found a huge bag of day old donuts so I grabbed them! Granted it was the dumpster to DK Donuts. So I texted a few friends asking them if they wanted any and of course they did. We headed to visit another friend at a coffee shop in Boise and I just felt I needed to share this providence so everyone in the coffee shop got a donut or two and then we took to the streets of downtown looking for others to share this sugary goodness with. It was a giving back moment. I am thankful for the generosity so so so so so so so many people have given me through a room to crash in, food to eat, a place to store my belongings, a place to park my car, paying for a bike tune up for me, making me dinner, allowing me to use their internet, giving me a place to duck in out of the cold. So much generosity to accepted and so much to be given. I am thankful to be able to be on the receiving end, but am so glad to be on the giving end.

Day 11: 30 days of thanks

Today I am thankful for bad movies. There are few things that bring a group of friends together to laugh and create life long inside jokes from watching terribly made films. So many wonderful memories have been made by them. Late nights. Hurting tummies. Junk food binging. Wonderful times indeed.

Day 10: 30 days of thanks

Today I am thankful for the unexpected randomness in life. I love shotgun trips, surprising friends, running into someone where you don't expect them, impromptu jam sessions, finding gold at thrift stores, catching a game winning goal when you turn on the tv, finding out a friend lives a street away, walking around a bend and get totally blown away by the beauty ahead of you, narrowly averting death, feeling the spirit move in you, accidentally sneezing on someone, finding money in your pocket, getting free popcorn or soda at the movies, when your iPod is shuffling all the bomb songs in a row, and so so so so much more!

Day 9: 30 days of thanks

Today I am thankful for laughter. I am blessed with so many funny friends!!! Some crack me up with their crazy stories or with actual jokes or with phone messages or with animated gifs or by sleepwalking or by singing ridiculous songs or by quoting movie/tv show quotes. I am also glad that I can participate in creating laughter too.

Day 8: 30 days of thanks

Today I am thankful for memories. The handful that I can remember. I am so blessed to have made some great memories with family, friends, and strangers. It has been great to rehash them lately and get reminded of ones I have forgotten about. Thankfully I am adding to my memory bank everyday.

Day 7: 30 days of thanks

Today I cannot express how thankful I am for my friends. I am blessed with so many awesome friends it is overwhelming! I have friends scattered all over the world and clusters here an there. I am thankful for the laughs, the conversations, the ridiculousness, the generosity, the douchiness, the flakes, the humble, the beautiful, the life of the party, the klutz, the friend I haven't seen in years but we pick up like we'd never been apart. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for my friends. I wish I could thank them all individually but just know that I cherish my time with you because who knows the next time ill see you or talk with ou or remember your birthday or be there to hear you complain or to go shopping with you. So thankful for friends.

Day 6: 30 days of thanks

Yesterday (but its actually not) I was and continue to be thankful for music. Music is such an amazing medium that not only is the creative process so enjoyable and complex but so simple but the end product is life changing. I feel like I could spew off pages and pages into this digital abyss about my love for music but I shan't. The emotional rollercoaster music brings me on is something I cherish so so much whether I'm listening to depressingly sad songs to feed my down and out feelings or getting giddy with friends when a new album gets released. I love road trip music; I love shower music, I love background music, I love playlists, I love shuffle (when it's spitting out gold); I love hearing a friends music; I love new music; I love love love old music; I love to sing to music; I love to play air instruments to music; I love to share music. It's such an important part of who I am and who I am continuing to become.
