Gratitude Challenge- Day 8


the gratitude challenge 


Send thank you notes to five people who deserve a little recognition.


The five people I chose to write to were:

Canela
 Canela is my sister's best friend, she also works at the same coffee shop that I work at.  Every other Friday Canela covers my shift so that I can go to MOPS.  


Patsy
Patsy is my mother-in-law and she watched Jay this Friday and two Fridays ago so that Josh and I could go out for my brother and sister's birthday parties. Patsy also spotted some darling GAP kid's outfits last week for Jay and he's definitely styling right now.


Grandma Barb
 Grandma Barb is Josh's grandma, a few days ago Josh's truck stopped working so she is letting him drive her car while his truck gets taken care of.  Barb also got went on a little shopping spree for Josh and Jay and totally hooked them up with some awesome outfits.


MJ
MJ was my scarf swap buddy -- I love my scarf & I figure who doesn't like thank-you notes?!


and last but certainly not least... 
Josh
 Do I even need to explain myself?!  What isn't there to be thankful for when it comes to Josh.  I adore this man.  


This challenge was really good for me because I stink at writing thank-you notes... almost as much as I stink at as yesterday's challenge, calling people.  I think that by pointing out what I'm not very good at it's been encouraging me to improve on those things.  I'm so much more comfortable in person than on paper or on the phone, there are so many things you can't see or pick up on when you aren't face to face.  But, life isn't always about feeling comfortable and while certain things might not be natural or comfortable for me... they may mean the world for someone else.  I think this Gratitude Challenge is just what I needed! :)

Can't wait to read about your thank you notes!

The only thing better than sending a thank you is receiving one in return!!
