"Choosing gratitude: this cup of cocoa wouldn't taste half as good without freezing cold weather."

A couple weeks ago, I posted this on my Instagram account and didn't think twice about it. I was simply trying to escape the winter blues. I received an email from my fellow blogger friend, Tomissa of She Loved Life, about this particular photo and it's caption with the wonderful idea of making it a regular series.

Of course I loved it.

From now on, I'll be posting short and simple gratitude posts once or twice a month. A challenge of sorts to myself to be more intentional and positive day to day. I hope I can encourage you to do the same!

Sidenote: this winter was the first time I've made hot cocoa with milk and not water. What is wrong with me?! Cheers to the dairy state.
