Good morning! My gratitude posts have been few and far between as we’ve all adjusted to living in a pandemic but once again, I was recently reminded how important practicing gratitude is to keeping a positive frame of mind.

So today I am thankful for the following:

1. I’m so thankful for an amazing place to work with wonderful coworkers and an awesome boss. Everyone is very understanding and patient when it comes to family coming first and work-life balance. They have made working from home a little less stressful.
2. I’m grateful for running. It is free, brings me closer to others, and can be done social distanced style. I have really been using running as a tool to stay healthy both physically and mentally during the pandemic.
3. I’m thankful for some good friends and their support while I’ve given up drinking for a month. I’m lucky to be surrounded by good and supportive friends.
4. I’m grateful for 14 years together and 8 years married with Ben. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday and it was a good reminder of all that we’ve been through together and how much I love him.
5. I’m grateful for summer and the ability to spend time outdoors. It is so good for me and my kids.

Have a happy day friends!
