This is my attempt at being thankful every day... for little things & big things!
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
I post most days, via Instagram @sarah_brightside.
If you don't follow me there, here are my snapshots from this past week (or so)...
Currently I Am...
THANKFUL FOR // Dreaming of travel adventures. Learning new things. New nail polish colors. Longer days.
Practicing memory verses before bed. My cute dog. And building lego towers with a cute little guy. :)
WORKING ON // Taxes... and crocheting the prettiest little flowers! I am so thankful that my grandma taught
me how to crochet them. So fun & cute!! I really love how you can use different colors in every layer of petals.

THINKING ABOUT // I discovered that beautiful vintage globe & had to take photos of it... It made me want
to start planning a summer adventure! Also, it reminded me that I live so comfortably in "my own little world"
& so often I forget about how big this world really is... Thinking about that reminded me of how I have
wanted to sponsor a child through Compassion for so long. Finally over the last week couple of weeks I have
realized that it is time to actually DO IT!!! There are so many sweet kids & families all over the world that need
help & we need to think about things like that more often and about ourselves less often!!
Do any of you sponsor a child through Compassion or some other organization??

WATCHING // Loving season 6 of Heartland, I am watching it online & I can't get enough of it! I love the
stories, the characters, the horses, & the scenery (which makes me want to visit Canada)... It is SO good!!!

READING // I am right in the middle of a Bible study on the Tabernacle, so I am currently reading a lot in Exodus,
which is great because I haven't read/studied it much before & there is so much to learn!!! Because of that,
I have been pretty slow at reading other things... I am still reading Grace for the Good Girl, a little bit at a time.

LISTENING TO // Jon Foreman station on Pandora. It has been on non-stop lately. He is my favorite ever!!
Plus there are so many other great songs! Really loving Mat Kearney & Needtobreathe. I love hearing new music too!
EATING // Have had roasted potatoes a lot lately (similar to these). Oh, they are so good!! Honestly, I have not

EATING // Have had roasted potatoes a lot lately (similar to these). Oh, they are so good!! Honestly, I have not
been eating as healthy as I should be lately, but all of a sudden I have been in the mood for apples a lot, so that's
a good, healthy snack! And because it's almost spring I am ready for some fresh asparagus.

DRINKING // I mostly drink water & tea, but lately I am loving Diet Dr. Pepper!! It's one of my treats! I have never been much of a diet person, but strangely I like the taste of diet Dr. Pepper better than regular.
