January is the slowest month for me. I'm itching to get out and make some photos, but the negative twenty degree or so temperatures are not so kind to my fingers (or face, for that matter). I've been busy with work, school, and just life. And it's been good. So this week (or mid-week, as it is) I'm thankful for...
lazy, quiet Tuesdays
gluten free cake and cupcakes
snow falling softly
poetry and words
watching my sisters dance
candles burning
watching movies with my brothers
listening to sammy laugh
running in the early morning (inside -- I'm not that crazy. hah!)
my moleskine, almost filled, and the new one waiting
productive days
spaghetti for dinner
my church family
design jobs
planning crazy amazing things for this summer
going to bed early for once
beyond exciting new projects
fernweh
and...
listening to my grandpa tell stories from when he was younger
what are you grateful for?
brownies. I'm oh so thankful for brownies.
ReplyDeletebeautiful pictures darling! I know what you mean: taking pictures outside is oober hard, everything is bare, bleak and cold!
I love how all these photos are in black and white. Right now I'm grateful for little things, like amazing blogs (such as yours), and curling up with a good book and a blanket in front of the fireplace.
ReplyDeletexoxo.
church family. i love them both (we have two). so much. i love your family's freckles, i'm the only one in my family that doesn't have them, and it makes me sad.
ReplyDeletei'm thankful for imminent babies, letters, how fast january & february go over here on the continent, and a whole slew of wonderful things planned for the weeks ahead.

lovely photos as always :) love your list of the things you are thankful for!
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for a lot of the things most of us take for granted (ie, a roof over my head, a car to get around in, etc), since times are hard on us right now. I love your list though! Such wonderful things.
ReplyDeleteI love how you capture pure live with you camera. So beautiful! I'm grateful for birthdays, curly hair on little girls, and my church. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for oh so many things. I recently started reading a book called "One Thousand Gifts: A dare to live fully right where you are."
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful book, all about how being thankful can totally change your outlook. One of the things the author did was to write 1,00 things she's thankful for. I started doing the same thing yesterday, and am already on #92!
A few examples:
5. Hearing a sound and knowing exactly what it is without seeing.
6. Dancing. Heart throbbing, grin-making, glorious wiggly joy.
15. Sweaters covered in loving dog hair.
17. Passports.
21. Lame puns.
31. Crawling into a newly made bed.
39. The click of typewriter keys.
53. Being alone.
66. The drone of a faraway air plane.
etc. etc.
:)
lovely. your sister just enhances the word. she's so pretty♥
ReplyDeleteMm, beautiful photos, Hannah! My favorite would have to be to be the first photo of Grace. She is oh-so-pretty.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for so many things...
1. Being stress free during this busy semester
2. {Very} cold days in North Carolina
3. Finding our accidental rat a good home
4. Home-made chocolate chip waffles for breakfast
5. Very encouraging friends & family
6. Being "Minnie" in the play "Annie Get Your Gun" {my first speaking/singing/role with a name!}
7. Peace in stressful times
There is a whole lot more too, but I am afraid it would take pages for me to list.
Have a lovely day, Hannah!
p.s. This is a rather random question - but do you go by "Hannah Nicole" or just "Hannah"? I know you sometimes list your name as Hannah Nicole, so I was just wondering. :-]
You are right, Hannah. There are so many things to be thankful for. :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
~Bree
