Thursday Thankful List

by on May 17, 2012 in Andi's Life, Thursday Thankful List

I’m thankful for lots and lots of things today, but extremely thankful that I’m in my wonderful college town today through Sunday. I’ll be spending the next couple of days soaking up the Ohio sunshine with best friends, visiting our favorite college spots  and laughing non-stop. I’ve been anticipating this trip for so long and so so so happy I’m finally here! Happy {positive} Thursday loves! xo

p.s. I’m taking a quick vacation from blogging while I’m visiting friends/family in Ohio. I have posts scheduled like usual every day, including a few from some fantastic guest bloggers! Thanks for understanding and have a great couple of days.

Thursday Thankful List

by on May 3, 2012 in Thursday Thankful List

It’s hard to believe this is my 50th Thursday Thursday List blog post! I’m so glad I started writing weekly thankful lists on Polish My Crown because it truly allows me to take a step back and come to reality with all of the goodness and wonderfulness in my life. In my first Thursday Thankful List post, I wrote:

“Thursdays are my absolute favorite day of the week and I’ve coined them “Positive Thursday” to remind myself to be extra optimistic on this day of the week. Now, on Thursdays, I will compile a list of little (and some big!) things I’m thankful for, little things that make me smile, little things that make life so much better and so much sweeter. Life is too short and too fabulous to not take time to appreciate just how blessed I am.“
