So, I used to be good about writing a little list of gratitude in the morning, but I haven’t done it this year. I do, however, know the importance of finding gratitude and I’ve always thought of Thanksgiving as a reminder of the importance of family and a chance to count your blessings.

I know a list of 21 things isn’t a replacement for daily gratitude practice, but I still thought it was fitting to share on Thanksgiving. I hope to start a daily gratitude practice like I’ve done in the past, but for right now here’s what we got!

This is my more fun and not-so-serious 21 things I’m grateful for in 2021!

1. Watching the Holiday on Netflix (until November 30)
2. 10 minute version of All Too Well
3. The new Oklahoma City Bakery, Harvey Bakery (11/10 would recommend)
4. Playing games, specifically, What the Meme and chess with your family. No matter how mad I get when I lose.
5. Dogs. Dogs. and Dogs. I have an Aussie Doodle and a French Bulldog that are my favorites.
6. Getting Half-Baked Harvest 9 Favorite Things in my email inbox every Sunday morning
7. Starbucks hot chocolate and bullying my boyfriend into looking at Christmas lights with me. This is a preemptive grateful. I haven’t done this quite yet.
8. This brand new website from Alison Roman and step-by-step Thanksgiving meals
9. Reading good books (The Personal Librarian was suprisingly good)
10. Baking! Pies! For! Thanksgiving! (I think pumpkin is the move this year!)
11. My moms dressings, it’s seriously the best. It’s got a lot more sausage than bread, which makes it meaty and almost a whole meal on its own.
12. (putting things inside of paranthesis. I’m grateful for this mark of puncuation)
13. The number 13 and all it has done for the Taylor Swift fanbase. And a link to the All Too Well short film.
14. Learning to journal/start my day reading the bible and I’m grateful for the impact it has made on the rest of my day!
15. That podcast became a thing? I thought they seemed so borning 5 years ago, but now I’m obsessed with them. Also, link to my podcast playlist!
16. Writing 1 million words this year according to grammarly. Grateful to have job where I get to type alllll day.
17. Trader Joes and the Trader Joes List Youtube to help guide me through the best foods Trader Joes is rotating that week.
18. The Thanksgiving day parade + mimosa + french toast for the perfect start to the Thanksgiving festivities
19. I’m suprisingly grateful for this website and the ability to just write whatever I feel like, just for the fun of it.
20. Super grateful for in-person events, in-person class and (hopefully) Zoom slowly going away!
21. Obviously my family and friends and boyfriend and everyone that has made lots of happy moments with me!
