What I'm thankful for: February 7

Today I'm thankful for...

Planning ahead!

I'm a HUGE procrastinator, so you won't hear me being thankful for planning ahead very often, but when I plan ahead, I go all out. The inspiration for this topic is a little nerdy (and I may have even mentioned it before), so bear with me. When I first had the idea to do this project, I was just certain that I could think of over 366 things that I was thankful for. I'm very blessed, so I didn't think I'd have any difficulties coming up with topics. That was in December when I didn't have classes, work was slow, and the air was thick with Christmas magic. Despite my enthusiasm, I decided to go ahead and create a list of every day of the year and things I'm thankful for. Now that it's February and things continue to get crazier, I'm glad I did a little nerdish planning ahead. Not every date is filled in, but I have kind of a "stand by" list that I can use whenever it's 11:15 and I realize that I haven't written an entry for the day yet. Or whenever I'm grumpy and having a pity party and can't think of anything I'm thankful for (don't judge...you've been there too). If I would apply this concept to more important things, like school work, fixing my lunch, and ironing my work clothes, then I would be a rock star. Until then, I'll procrastinate, eat frozen meals, and find pants that are made of that material that doesn't wrinkle...
