Grateful: Days 1 & 2

Reading Brown Eyed Belle this morning, I discovered a bandwagon I'd like to join. Julie is blogging every day in the month of November about something she's grateful for. I think this is a wonderful idea, and I think it will be a great way to get in the habit of blogging regularly. Plus, what a better month to focus on gratitude than November!

Since I'm hopping on this bandwagon a day late, I'll provide two things I'm thankful for today.

First, in honor of her birthday on Halloween, I'm grateful for my mom. 

My mom is one of the strongest women I know, and I would not be the woman I am today without her. I am so thankful for who she is, and that she's my mom!

On a less-sappy note, I am grateful for my new job. While I officially started my new job almost a month ago, I didn't actually get to start my awesome new job until today. So, I'm thankful today for the chance to really move forward in my career, working in a job that will be challenging, fun, and an opportunity to grow.

BONUS GRATITUDE: I'm thank for the Brown Eyed Belle, for being a great friend, and blogger inspiration.

What or whom are you grateful for today?
