I have been out of town for a few days at an AmeriCorps conference, so I apologize, yet again for my complete negligence. It’s almost been a week since my last post, and I’ve had a lot of things to be thankful for over the past few days. So, let’s get right down to it…
Wednesday, November 9: I am thankful for this little bit of Indian Summer that appeared in Western Pennsylvania this month. Fall is beautiful, especially with a sunshine backdrop. Check out this fab photo I snapped on campus…
Thursday, November 10: I am thankful for the group of 14 other Pennsylvania Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA’s that I met up with on Thursday at a conference retreat. These selfless people are always there via text messages or our F-book group to inspire the rest of us to surge on, or to simply lend a listening ear whenever a glitch occurs in one of our programs. It was great to spend some time with these like-minded individuals, and to share many laughs with them too.
Friday, November 11: I am thankful for my sister, Kelly. Though, I’ve always hated to admit it, I have always looked up and aspired to be just like her. She’s been a fabulous role model, and I’ve always been proud to be her little sissy. Her sarcasm and whit often cuts you like a knife, but it is also one of the reasons we all love her. Can’t imagine where I would be without her.
Saturday, November 12: A little less heartfelt, but important to me nonetheless, I am thankful for my first Starbucks red cup of the season. Loved receiving my caramel latte in this cup on Saturday, and with each sip, I felt as though I was drinking in a little more Christmas cheer.
Sunday, November 13: My family and I celebrated my Great-Grandma’s 100th birthday on Sunday. She actually turns the BIG 1-0-0 on Friday, but we celebrated with a party at her assisted-living home a bit early. Therefore, I am thankful for my Great Grandma Dabbs and her daughter, my Grandma Livingston. I can only hope and pray that I receive some of their wonderful genes. My Great Grandma has been blessed with a long life, and a sharp, comedic personality. And my Grandma Livingston is healthy, kind, and the rock of the Livingston family. Love them both. Here is a photo snapped at the party of my Grandma and I..
xoxo—K
