31 Things I am Grateful for August 2022

31 Things I am Grateful for August 2022

We began phase two (moving) of our life explosion this month. Everything feels like a blur and a slow drag. I really am grateful for this opportunity to explode our life and try something new. I know this isn’t something a lot of people get to do, and I know what a privilege it is to be doing this.

This month I am grateful for:

  1. Being able to leave a job that no longer aligned with my values

  2. Exploring new places

  3. Twice a week farmer’s markets

  4. Visiting an incredible greenhouse

  5. New plants from the community college plant sale

  6. Playing in my dad’s garden

  7. Writing in cute local coffee shops

  8. Beautiful views everywhere you look

  9. Finding cool mushrooms in my parent’s yard

  10. Cool nights in August (what kind of witchcraft is this?)

  11. Visiting my aunt in Asheville

  12. DQ Blizzards

  13. Finding a really cute store with plants, plant pots, and cute home decor

  14. Brooklyn Nine Nine

  15. Craft supplies from Dollar Tree

  16. The Bridgerton soundtracks

  17. Coffee and exploring with my brother

  18. Mail in voting

  19. Tomato soup made with tomatoes my dad grew in his garden

  20. Finding a vintage word game at the town yard sale

  21. How cute Lucy is with a big bone

  22. Pedicures

  23. The beginning of fall leaves (YAAAAYYYY!!!!)

  24. Fazoli’s bread sticks

  25. Changing my prescriptions to a pharmacy with a drive thru

  26. Being able to tag along on a work trip with Christopher

  27. Timbits from Tim Hortons

  28. Seeing two Great Lakes

  29. An afternoon in Canada

  30. Drinking coffee at a coffee shop while it rains

  31. Sleeping in

This month has had a lot of ups and downs. House hunting has consumed August and I am exhausted. I’m glad we were able to end the month with a trip to Michigan by adding a few fun days to the end of Christopher’s work trip.

What are you grateful for this month? Share some of your gratitude in the comments.
