Being Thankful

Life is crazy. Sometimes, we’re in such a rush we put our underwear on inside out (or is that just me?) Due to the crazy, chaotic and hectic realities we all live in, it’s common that we forget to say “thank you,” to our partners for everything they do for us.

In relationships, appreciation goes a long way – especially, when they deserve it. It’s the small moments of recognition that make us feel that we’re truly loved.

Here’s to the boyfriends, girlfriends, fiancés, wives and husbands that we far too often take for granted. Here are my Thank You’s…

1. For not watching the new episode of “our show” without me.

2. Being patient with me.

3. Not judging my ugly crying face.

4. Being understanding.

5. Sharing you fries. And your onion rings.

6. For going to all the places I’ve forced you to go to – against your will.

7. Listening to my weird rants at 2 a.m.

8. Believing in my dreams and goals.

9. Not judging my awful singing voice in the car. And the shower.

10. For being supportive, especially when I need it the most.

11. Dealing with my horrible morning breath.

12. For coming into disagreements and arguments with an open-mind.

13. For laughing at my jokes even when they’re really awful (and not funny).

14. Including me in your decisions.

15. Letting me sleep, even if your arm is numb because I passed out on top of you.

16. Dealing with my crazy side.

17. Vegging out with me on a Friday night in PJ’s.

18. Making me feel like the only person in a crowded room.

19. Looking at 25 pictures of adorable animals with me because…well why the hell not?

20. For accepting me for who I am and where I am in life.

21. For being just as weird as me.

22. The surprises – even the small ones.

23. Not judging me when I yell at the television during a game or a show.

24. Always making life an adventure.

25. For Showing me truth.

26. And Showing me reason.

27. Thank you for showing me love.

28. And for being you.

29. For all the small things.

30. And the big ones, too.
