Driving to Work and Being Thankful

It's the little things in life...that's what I always say.

I had a good reminder of this upon arriving to the office this morning...feeling all proud of myself, because I drove to work all by myself. Big deal, right? "Wow, Melissa...you were able to get in a car like most people do and drive to work." But for me, this is a reminder of how strong I am. Not only did I drive myself to work, but I flew myself to England, moved myself into a new house, bought myself a new car, got myself insurance and then drove on the "wrong side of the road" in the "wrong side of the car" to the office. So yes, I am proud of myself and thankful that I have the opportunity to do all of this. 

Here are some other things I am thankful for today:

1. Visitors from America (present company and future visitors!)
2. Hazlenut coffee (it's not easy to find in the grocery stores here...but we've got it at work for free!)
3. My health
4. My family
5. Train times iPhone app. This app was a game changer for me...gave me the confidence to hop on trains like I knew exactly where I was going! (because I did) 
6. The weather in England
7. Kindness of strangers
