While my heart feels overwhelmed, I am still finding so much to be grateful for. 

In order to keep a grasp on all that I'm feeling, what better thing to do than to write a grateful list? And put it here, on the internet. For all to see. To each their own, right? 

the weather is absolutely beautiful today

i was able to drive with the windows down 

i found a table with a plug at my favorite coffee shop 

this semester is almost over 

i have survived all of my hardest days thus far 

i get to see my sisters tonight 

being stuck in traffic let me listen to extra music on my commute 

93.9 had a great set on this morning 

my best friend and i got to talk on the phone today 

Sometimes, it's just the simple things. 

When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. | Psalm 61:2 

Wednesday Gratitude.

After nearly getting into three separate car accidents yesterday (all within 5 minutes of each other) and quite literally seeing my life flash before my eyes multiple times, I feel grateful. 

Grateful that I didn't get hurt. That my brakes serve their purpose. That I actually paid attention during drivers training when we learned defensive driving techniques. 

This experience also made me grateful for an able body that can run, jump and bend. That it has the capability to walk me to class and carry heavy grocery bags up the stairs. 

I am grateful that I got to see my family yesterday, and that have plans to see the important people in my life throughout the rest of this week. 

Despite my book getting soaked from my water bottle opening when I hit the breaks suddenly, I am grateful that I have such easy access to literature and that I am capable of reading- because reading is one of my many joys in life that I couldn't imagine my world without. 

In all, this experience put into perspective for me how sweet life is, and how preciously it should be regarded. I hope you take some time to think of what makes you feel grateful today, too.

As I find myself straying away from taking joy in the simple things, I've created a list of things I'm grateful for to remember to find peace in the small things. May it help and inspire you the same as it has done for me.

Sunny days.

Good music on highway drives. 

Spending time with loved ones. 

Making others laugh. 

Hot chocolate on the way to class. 

Visiting the happiest place on earth with my best friend for spring break. 

Afternoon yoga. 

Perfectly worn in tee shirts. 

Being silly with you.
