29 on the 29th

 Earlier this week I wrote down 29 things I was grateful about this past year.  Celebrating life and summing up a year is pretty fun to do.  I don't know if birthdays mean extra introspection for any of you, but I can usually depend on an extra helping of contemplation about this time of year.  I'm happy to be alive and it felt good to check off a few things off my list this year making 28 a pretty solid year.  

I won't list all 29 things here {I'll leave out the simple but wonderful things like my new found love for sprinkling white cheddar topping on my popcorn} but a few other highlights:

Graduating.

 My relationship with my Grandparents.

Spending time with my whole family this fall in one of my favorite places.

Moving to my own little place.

Welcoming a little gray furball {who is curled up on my lap and holding my left arm hostage making typing a little awkward}into my life.

Work that challenges me.

A great neighborhood full of new friends.

Health.

Thanks to you my blogging friends and family, you were counted among the 29 great things because you are truly a highlight in my life too.

Here's to another great year!
