Photo Friday #23

This semester, I've been making a point to remember everything I have to be grateful for, and a big part of that has been learning to appreciate the little things in life. To me, this picture represents one of those moments. The warmth of a fresh cup of hot chocolate and the rush of reading a really great book are things that I've taken for granted at times. But by taking the time to acknowledge the brighter parts of my day, I've found that the tough stuff becomes easier to get through. And no matter how much seems to be going wrong, it's helpful to remember that there are always things to be grateful for that make life worth celebrating.
