TITF.

I don't even have to say it. It's been a rough year but it's also been a year of immense growth for me. I've stepped up to every new challenge and adapted, and you know what, I got sh!# done. So as the year starts to wind down, I'd like to introduce you to "Things I'm Thankful For" (TITF).

I have a friend, whom every year when November rolls around, she will post something she's thankful for (TITF) every single day. Every. Single. Day. Let me tell ya, that is so much harder than it sounds.

I think I tried to keep up with her once and failed after about a week. So what I want to do, is just do one big one for all of you. And as usual, I'll throw in some cute pictures for you guys. Because that's what you came for, am I right?
