Long Time Gone

I have had every intention of writing for the past few weeks, but somehow, I never end up following through. I even have a written list at work and a Post It on my computer desktop of things to write about. This may sound strange, but I think it's because I have so much to be thankful for right now that I have a hard focusing on just one thing to write about. So today I'm not going to and share a few of the things I've been most thankful for lately.

Enjoying a truly beautiful fall day with friends. 

People who still write hand written letters. And even more, people who happily live with no technology.

Chalk boards & 90s pop songs.

Exploring new areas especially places you've walked by tons of times but never noticed. I found this gem while searching for fake blood for Halloween in random shops on Belmont.

Pre-wedding celebrations for Sara's upcoming wedding. And that my cupcake Chicago skyline worked out better than I thought it would :)

My squeaky ballet flats. Sometimes it's really annoying but sometimes it's really nice. They squeak most when I walk fast, so they force me to slow down...literally.

Butternut squash! Such a great fall flavor.

The onset of the holiday season.

Shake it Off by Florence + the Machine. I may or may not listen to the whole Ceremonials every morning while I get ready and then listen to Shake it Off about another 20 times throughout the day...

That there are only 14 days until my all time favorite holiday! Thanksgiving of course :)

What have you been most thankful for this fall?
