It’s the holiday season which can bring a riot of emotions. Let’s go ahead and take a deep breath. I’ll even include a travel picture from Ireland to help inspire you. Exhale – inhale.

Now, let’s be thankful. I’m a writer who loves lists so write down the top 3 things you’re thankful for this year. Yes, another travel picture as I’m thankful for my traveling.

You didn’t think it would be that easy, did you? I’m afraid not. Take another moment to create 2 more lists. What are the top 3 things you spend your money on? What are the top 3 things that take up your time?

Your lists don’t need to match, but I know I like for mine to align, to complement. Travel is a great example. It’s amazing to see the world, but I also share trips with family and they inspire my writing (3 things combined that I love and am thankful for are all mashed together). I’m still trying to find the best ways to merge my lists, but I believe we should all always be a work-in-progress. It’s a big world, and there’s a lot to see, do, and learn.

I am thankful that I have time to keep trying…which means there will be more blogs.

Exhale – inhale – exhale – inhale.

Your lists are your own so do with them what you will, my friend.

Until next time, take care of yourself!
