Welcome to the second installment of the 30 Day Gratitude Photo Challenge that I am participating in on Positively Present. Last week, I posted a the first installment and each week I will highlight all the moments of gratitude I have experienced over the last seven days.
Day 3, Nature: I do love the outdoors, but on this day I was particularly grateful for living in the midwest this time of year. The colors get me every time. A picture from our nature walk.
Day 4, Clothing: Folding clothes is one of those chores that often makes me roll the eyes. Will this ever end? As the weather gets cooler here though, I am so glad that I have clothes to fold. My kids have warm clothes, socks, and jammies. Not everyone is so lucky, and I am truly grateful for this. This is my weekly pile of kids clothes.
Day 5, Knowledge: I am grateful that I have a personality that keeps me researching, learning, reading, and curious. I love to learn, and I am grateful for that. Here is me looking up something again (after I find the perfect iTunes song of course).
Day 6, Memories: I write another blog called South of I-80 and every time I write, I recall so many happy and hilarious memories growing up. My family is truly a mix of some of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life, and the memories keep me laughing. This is a picture of my Dad and I that I have hanging in my house, I just snapped a picture of it on my iPhone.
Day 7, Innovation: The day after Election Day. I’m so thankful and grateful for my ability to vote and be part of a country that is governed of the people, by the people and for the people. Thank you to the innovators over 200 years ago that have made this possible today. This is me walking into the polling place.
Day 8, Sleep: I, of course, am always grateful for a good night’s sleep, but lately as I tip toe into the kids’ rooms every night to check on them, fix their covers and give them one more kiss. I am still so grateful that they let me do this. I know my days are numbered and they will be too cool for kisses, snuggles, bedtime stories, and footie jammies.
There you have it, another week of absolute gratitude.
Have an awesome weekend, everyone!

So many things to be grateful for! We already celebrated Thanksgiving in Canada, but it's a good reminder to be grateful all year round. Thanks for stopping by today!
I love that tree! I have also been doing the 30 days of thanksgiving on Instagram and it is always fun to see what other people come up with. Thanks for stopping by!
