{love this | what are you thankful for | happy thanksgiving}

In honor of Thanksgiving tomorrow, I thought I would post a more personal blog for the holiday! Many of us take for granted what we have and focus on what we want or don’t have. We all do it, myself included, but I am trying to make more of an effort to focus on what I have and appreciate life more. In our society we are always looking for the next best thing, the next dollar, or the next step to the top, while so many people are starving, have no place to sleep, are losing their jobs and struggling with how they are going to get their next meal. It is nice to take a step back and appreciate all we have to be grateful for, even if it is our own hard work that got us there. It's very easy to take the simple things in life for granted. I am guilty of this myself, focusing on what blogs will feature my next wedding, what next couple will book, what our sales were for the month, etc. etc. So this Thanksgiving sit back enjoy family and friends and be thankful you have loved ones in your life and food on the table. Sweat the small stuff another day. I have so many things to be grateful for!

What are you most thankful for? I am thankful for the love and support of my family and friends. A special thank you to my mom and dad for supporting me and my dreams ever since I was little. Thank you Aldo for being by my side in my business and life adventures. Thank you Margaret and Natalie for being my cheerleaders, even when there is not a lot to cheer for! You have all made a huge contribution to my life and I couldn't be more grateful!

Leave a comment on what you are most grateful for and you will be entered for a chance to win a free portrait session to show our appreciation of you! (Winner announced Monday)

Happy Thanksgiving!
