gratitude challenge day 6

Today I am thankful for the pleasure of a carefree day. I took a vacation day and joined my mom and her work colleagues on their annual Christmas shopping trip. My Christmas shopping is basically already done, but it was a nice treat to spend a sunny fall day out shopping, having lunch, and laughing with a group of like-minded women. As a bonus, I somehow managed to spend only $24 all day and also enjoyed the discovery of an enchanting new store, Teavana.
