November

I am thankful.

This is a month to reflect all the things

and people in this world that we are

thankful for. There are so

many things going on in my life that I

am truly and completely thankful for.

First and foremost, is my family.

My family is my life.

Not only my wonderful husband

(that I am most thankful for)

but my sisters, my brothers,

my parents and everyone else.

I have such a huge, blended

family and I'm so grateful for

all of them. There are always

there when I need them. They

are there to laugh with, cry with,

tell stories and gossip. Anything

and everything, they are always

there for me.

And of course I am thankful for

my extended family and my

friends. Honestly, you are ALL

family to me. There are so many

of you that I wish I saw more

often or had a closer relationship

with. But the fact that there is still

communication, no matter the

distance or frequency, is awesome!

I'm thankful for my job as well. Some

days being a manager tests every bit

of my being, but I really enjoy what

I do. Making people feel beautiful and

happy with themselves is truly

rewarding. Plus I have some amazing

stylists. Ones that have come and gone

and some that continue to flourish. All

of them have been so supportive and

cooperative; I am lucky to have a job at

all in this day and age. I'm so blessed.

And last, but certainly no least - I am

extremely thankful for this life. Every

day is a new adventure. Sure, some

are a little mundane, but the fact that I'm

able to get up every morning and breathe

that fresh air, is perfection in my mind.

I have a busy schedule, filled with

appointments and gatherings with friends

and family. I get to spend EVERY Monday

with my favorite little nephew. I have weekly

dinner with my dad & Nancy. I have

everything I could ever ask for.

This is such a wonderful month. I am thankful all year, but I'm going to make sure to let everyone know this month. I couldn't be more lucky.

Make sure you take some time this month

and reflect on all the wonderful things in

your life. We are all blessed in one way or

another.

Thank YOU for reading this. Whether

we're close or even if we know each other,

I am thankful for you. I love having this blog

and I wouldn't have it if someone wasn't

reading it. So thank you for taking time out of

your day to read what I am most thankful for.

Love to all - ERICA
