Although Thanksgiving is not a holiday we Brits (or French) celebrate, it is fast becoming my favourite celebration... I'm a huge convert to the power of an attitude of gratitude and am very much still in the habit of keeping a Gratitude Journal
Here are a few things I am giving thanks for right now
- For the new friendships I've formed over this last year via my work and passion for textiles
- For all the wonderful friends I've been able to reconnect with thanks to the internet
- For my improved mental & physical health
- For being able to spend rare quality time with family members this last weekend
- For everyone who has bought a Get Smitten product and attended any of my workshops
- For the clarity I now have on where Get Smitten is heading
- For the interesting work opportunities that are beginning to show up
- For laughter and kindness
- For unconditional love both near and far
- For being called 'my best friend' by my 3 year old niece
- For booking a trip back to England to see family and friends for Christmas
- For my early Birthday prezzie from the girls (seriously gorgeous shoes!)
- For the swift recovery of my dislocated knee-cap (gross)
- For the incredible resources at my fingertips
- For learning how to cut negativity out of my mindset and choosing to be positive
- For being able to do what I love and love what I do
Oh and by the way... thanks for being here, I really appreciate it!

Great uplifting post, and I'm so happy to be a part of it! :) Thanks for including my embroidery hoop art.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful to be an auntie for the first time - my sweet little nephew was born 2 days before Thanksgiving. I got to hold him while I was eating my Thanksgiving dinner next to my own 2 children and felt very blessed.
what a wonderful thing to be thankful for Amanda :) being an Auntie is a real blessing & I can't wait to see all 7 (!!) of my nieces & nephews over Christmas
