31 Things I'm Grateful for May 2020

31 Things I'm Grateful for May 2020

May is a big celebration month for us. We got married in May, bought our house in May, and usually go on a vacation of some sort to celebrate. This May has looked a bit different. We’re lucky that we got to see our moms on Mother’s Day. We got to be together on our anniversary, and even though there was no vacation, no fancy date night out, or day at the beach or Disney, we know we’ll get back to doing those things when it’s safe. The ‘rona has been hard on everyone, and we are extremely lucky to be able to work from home, stay safe, and be together. Now, the 31 things that helped me focus on gratitude in May.
