Happy Thanksgiving!

we don't celebrate thanksgiving in israel, but i love the tradition of being grateful for the things we have in our lives.

we always think about all the things we want or need and usually forget to count the our blessings.

so here we go...

1. my amazing, loving, caring family and my super awesome boyfriend.

those are the people that make me smile and cry.

they make me want to be a better person, learn new things and go to new places.

they inspire me every day with their strenght and courage.

and even if sometimes i want to punch them in the face, most of the time i love them to death!

2. good health!

the most important thing for my loved ones and myself.

3. being happy!

when i look at the big picture i'm really blessed: 

i have amazing partner, family and close friends

i have a great job where i can be creative

i have my hobbies

i have my cats

soon i'm moving into a new house

i have my little adventures around the world

and most important i have me, and maybe i'm far from being perfect, but who wants to be?!

i know my flaws and except them. 

Happy Thanksgiving!
