you are my celebrity

Mixed Up | Feel Good Thursday 123120

It was either two posts tomorrow or a FGT, so why not mix it up in a mixed up year?! These Feel Good Friday gratitude lists are intended to cover the previous week only, but on this last day of 2020 it’s hard not to use it as a reflection point for an entire year. After all, the freedom and happiness of my past week stemmed from the pain and burden of the first days of 2020. Nonetheless, we know I (you, our families, friends) have suffered; let us reflect on what I’m grateful for in just the past 6 days…

Christmas Eve long linger hangout with my fam…

Christmas Day even longer linger with my fam…

Day-After-Christmas-Day shopathon and Via 313 (albeit twice) and Wonder Woman with my fam…

Theme? So incredibly grateful for my close-knit fam. Dad, mom, brother, sister-in-law, Nali, even RonRon and Zollie. Grateful I moved home when I did, and to where I did.

Grateful for daily yoga practice at BFree.

Grateful for MY NEW TRUCK. His name is Derby, because he spent the first years of his life in Kentucky and Ohio before retiring down here to the south.

Grateful for Bromance’s impending arrival and what is sure to be another amazing weekend—it’s hard to believe I haven’t seen one of my best friends for an entire calendar year.

Grateful for glitter and gold and silver spray paint and beads and feathers and all the things to decorate with for New Year’s Eve.

Grateful for the garage gym and the pelo. Grateful for the friends with pelos who text me workouts and funny memes and sometimes are accidentally taking the same classes.

Grateful for the past year. Grateful for all it taught me. Grateful for what I found on the other side.

Couldn’t help it.

Where we’re going! [by Stephanie Matlock, Galveston, November 2020]
