i am thankful

How could I not give thanks for this amazing life I have been blessed with! I try to write down 5 things i'm grateful/thankful for everyday. or at least verbalize them because life has been too kind to me not to give constant thought and attention to all that i have been blessed with. 

i am thankful for my second (or third, or fourth) chance at a new life. i'm thankful for waking up every morning with a clear head. i'm thankful for all my senses that allow life to take on so much meaning. i'm thankful for the air i breathe and the bed i sleep in. i'm thankful for mangoes and good art and delicious food. i'm thankful for the color green and whoppers. and sour patch kids and candles and mums. i'm thankful for yoga and used books and the ability to laugh at myself.

BUT, most importantly, i'm thankful for the PEOPLE that make my life so amazing. Here is a small glimpse into the many wonderful amazing people in my life. and if you don't see yourself or picture below, please know it's not because i excluded you. it's only because i didn't have a picture of you to post and/or ran out of space.
i'll start with my newest blessing, my nephew.
