Gratitude

In the spirit of November, the month we give thanks, I'd like to take the opportunity (and by opportunity, I mean challenge) to write about what I'm grateful for everyday. These won't be long and wordy, but more spontaneous and fun.

To start this month off, I am sitting at Biggby waiting for Blake's practice to be done. I was originally excited when Toby asked me to take him because I knew I'd end up here... writing.

Then Evan wanted to come with me.

So I made him bring his homework and sat him at a separate table, because he's full of distractions lately. I bought us both coffees, mine decaf, his not so much. And honest to God, I've never seen him so focused. He's gone through two pages of paper himself writing furiously. At one point he looked up and said, "Why haven't we done this before?"

I don't have the heart to tell him I come here once a week.

But it's nice to know that we can at least do something together where I don't want to kill him.

So today, I am grateful for Biggby. For bringing my son and I together for one happy caffeine-induced hour.

B Grateful.

B Something

I'd done a post like this in the past and loved it, but the blog crash in 2011 deleted it. So I thought it needed a revival, and it just so happens to fit in with my theme this week.

If you've been into one of our Biggbys in the past few years (I know you have!), you may have noticed their marketing push for the trademark B they have.

B Happy
B Generous
B Sweet

To me this is genius, and I've often wondered if anyone loved this as much as I do.  For whatever reason, it just makes me happy to go in there and see this stuff (I have yet to buy something because I can't choose!)

What are you going to B when you grow up?  Hands down, this is one of my favorite questions.  There are just so many possibilities of what we can B and do, and on occasion, I like to take a moment and answer that question.

Soooo, for your homework today, you will jot down some things you would like to B either now, tomorrow, or when you grow up :)

B Fabulous
B Amazing
B Writing
B Helpful
B Outgoing

What will you B today?
