If you can't read the phonetic thingy - it says thankful.
As a new year begins (and let's face it, I may not be off to a great start considering this post is a month overdue), it's time to reflect on the year that has passed. I feel so incredibly lucky to have experienced so many different things this year and, for the first time - I kept track of all the things I am thankful for.
Here's my 2014 highlights in pictures and some babbling.

Here's my 2014 highlights in pictures and some babbling.
- I started the year off with a metaphorical bang - GOODBYE SCHOOL. As much as I love learning and challenging different ideas, I have spent too many years within four walls!...And thus began my unofficial unemployment.
- Costa Rica!!! This was the first time I traveled alone and I really couldn't have enjoyed it more. I was able to go at a pace I was comfortable with and do what I wanted to do - which turned out to be endlessly walking the beach, reading, snorkeling and kayaking.
Bahia De Los Piratas, Costa Rica - I flew to Indonesia with my parents shortly after getting back from Costa Rica - thanks parents. It was a bit odd because I was the only one in the group who was under 45, but I enjoyed nonetheless; the temples we visited...wow. That's all. #allexpensespaid #ImNeverMovingOut (jk yikes)A photo posted by Pia T (@pitum_) on
70 Days Until Christmas - I can't wait! I'm looking forward to it all - secret santas, holiday cheer and fairy lights all around - and the feeling that you've got another year in the bag.
I enjoy it just as much as the next person, but my favorite part about Christmas is the family reunion. Christmas being a holiday means there's no school and work and, most importantly, that I'll get to see two of my favorite people again.
