The beautiful things in life

As someone who has struggled with depression her whole life, it's important time to time to try and remember all of amazing things that life has to offer. After a horrible first date last night (SN: bad date story to come, so yaaaaaay) and all of the craziness happening in the world (hello, 45, I'm looking at you - STOP FUCKING TWEETING) now seems like as good of a time as any to take stock of the beautiful things all around. So, for a minute, I'd like to just list the things I am grateful for today. My morning run on the trail. Summer. My daughter's laughter, and her unconditional love for me. Ice cream, especially Halo Top, cause it fits into my current diet. Strength. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, so at this point, I think I could move mountains. My career & being appreciated enough at work to be promoted. My family. Coffee, and wine. Bully Hill, if you're buying. Sunflowers. Music, especially that one song that speaks volumes to you...
