I recently came across an old journal entry from Thanksgiving 2006, when I lived in New York. The entry was an attempt at pulling myself out of the cynical mood that I had become accustomed to after countless walks to work in the rain, overdrawing my bank account for taxi money and living on a random girl's couch for two months. I listed all the things that I was thankful for, and I realized how fortunate I was to live in the greatest city in the world. It's been three years since I wrote that entry, and although I can no longer include Shake Shack, Pixie Market and sample sales among my current roster of things to be thankful for, I still think that life is pretty flipping fantastic.
What Kristin is Thankful for in 2009:
My family and the Wild Homestead
My friends- both those I don't see very often and those who I bbm with 3429875 times a day
My Atticus crew for their inspiration, creativity and work ethic (even when they only get paid in pizza and alcohol)
My Aude Michelle Scarf for basically being my security blanket through the long Wisconsin winter
Bradbury's and Kickapoo Coffee for getting me through the day. Every day.
The fact that I have a career that allows me to live in Madison and travel to NYC on a regular basis
Current/Elliott, Acne and T by Alex Wang for designing my current go to staples and Temperley and Rag&Bone for giving me a reason to look forward to the normally dismal month of February
