For almost one year, I’ve been keeping lists of things I am thankful for on a daily basis. It is not always easy, and I often find myself catching up with my list weekly, rather than daily! I am still trying to come up with one thing that I’m thankful for each day of the month. There were 31 days in August, so here are the 31 things I was thankful for between August 1st and 31st.

Just another thing I want to share today:
You’ve heard of Everything Everything by Nicola Yoon, I’m sure. Well, her husband, David Yoon, wrote a YA book as well – FRANKLY IN LOVE. This highly anticipated YA book is out today and you can get your copy from Book of the Month YA (@yasofthemonth) for just $9.99 with code GROW.
I am always thankful for books!
What are you thankful for today?
