49. Thanking Friday #4

I'm thinking maybe I should do these either more often... or once a month seeing as how I have skipped a lot of Fridays already. But anyways, I guess I'll just pretend I didn't skip and continue on!

Some things I've grateful and thankful for:
- I got a job at one of the places I have loved volunteering for!
- I got an executive (?) position at a club at the University that I'm super excited about
- All the awesome people who are courageous and funny on YouTube, giving us hours and hours of laughs and enlightenment!
- Beautiful weather we've been having! (As you can probably see by the dozens of sky pictures I've taken on both my blog here and on my tumblr!)
- Our home grown veggies! Because, without them, we would have to have done a lot of grocery shopping without knowing where our food came from! With our own mini home vegetable garden, we know exactly where and how our food came from! And the best part is that you can just pick and eat!

35. Thanking Friday #3

I missed last week because I slept over at Chenyue's house. But, this week, Thanking Friday is back!

Some things I'm grateful and thankful for are
- How my mom raised me. Some people might not realize it, but our parents really do put in a lot of effort.
- All the artistic inspiration I'm surrounded by!
- Having my own camera (this is one of the few things that I am so glad I bought - the money was totally worth it)
- Flowers! Be it fake or real, they really are soothing to look at!
- Having watercolour paper, because this paper is amazing. It's just not the same with drawing on plain paper versus this glorious 300 GSM watercolour paper that's 25% cotton rag with a cold pressed surface and acid free! (Yeah, I totally copied that from the watercolour information sheet) And, in case you're wondering, I bought it from Chapters, but here's a website link that you can probably get it from as well. The paper is really, really, insanely thick.

24. Thanking Friday #2

Some things I'm thankful for this week are

- The weather is turning more warm and the sun is going down later
- Helpful notes from friends for a course
- My very own kettle so I don't have to go to the kitchen every ten minutes to get more water
- Very good artist pens for my watercolour pieces
- I lost another pound this week!

20. Thanking Friday #1

I came across this post today and thought that it was a great idea to show my gratitude and express my thankfulness, as well as to look back and reminiscence of the things I'm grateful for every week. No matter small or big, everything should be appreciated to be able to enjoy all the wondrous things in life!

- The cookies I baked today came out great - visually appealing and tasty!

- The chicks are growing up healthily

- I have a watercolour set and a great, new brush that I can use whenever I feel an artistic mood kicking in

- The sun sets later - more sunlight (during the rare occasions)

- I really like my hairstyle right now! It's a medium-short (?) haircut curled inwards

- I finally have a new hairbrush that takes the static out of my hair
