Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is a time of year where we think about all the things we are thankful for in our lives, and what truly make us happy. 
Sometimes its only human to focus on the negative things going on in our lives but do we ever think to just be thankful? Just say thank you to someone with a smile everyday? I have made it my goal to start consciously trying to appreciate the things and people more often in my life, because lets face it life short.
This year my goal was to become closer to my Texas Family. 
Louis and I had been trying for awhile to move back to Texas because this where I was born and I felt I had missed out on growing up and being around my Family here. I know it is hard to reconnect with people after being distance for so long but it takes time, effort and love. Family and true friends are the most important things in life and you should take every chance to appreciate and love one another. 
We are also missing our Canadian friends and family terribly and hope that we can spend time with you in the near future. We feel so lucky that we have so many amazing people in our life and wish we could spend more time together but life is always changing and we are on a new path of adventures here in Texas. 
I have learned a lot this year and if you truly have a "positive" mind set you will get through  any "negatives" that come your way. 
I have so many things in my life to be thankful for:  My amazing Texas family , my Canadians friends and family , my Ohio family, my wonderful boyfriend, the amazing people who I work with and have met so far here in Austin, and my puppies who make me smile and love me unconditionally everyday. 
I appreciate and love you all. 
I am giving thanks to you and wishing you a happy, fun filled Thanksgiving. 


Love, MLE
