Sunsets

I am thankful for sunsets! Reminds me that I need to just take the time and watch the sun set - from the beginning of it till the very end, not doing anything else, but just watching... Can you believe I've never done that? God, I'm totally missing out on life. Shame on me.

Who's Gonna Catch Me When I Fall

I am thankful for support and people who are willing to provide it. Just a little bit of sincere support can go a long long way!

Genes

I'm thankful for my genes. When I think of the personality traits me and my parents have in common, I always feel like I've only taken the best my mom and dad had to offer in terms of temper, habits and such. The mix makes me a very contradictory person at times, but I kind of like this about myself, so I really don't mind. I'm also thankful I didn't inherit some of their traits I personally don't like, ha.

Color & the Metro

Most trains in the Moscow metro are classic and not too modern, but we have a few types of newer ones too. Some of those newer trains of certain design feature yellow and orange handrails. They're my favorites - I'm thankful for those two pops of unexpected color, those ultimate mood lifters that are sure to provide you with some extra energy on an early working day morning!  

Each time I happen to catch one of the few trains that feature this 'clever' design it puts a smile on my face, and because those trains are rare it's allways a nice surprise.

You Had Me at "Thank You"

I'm thankful for people who are naturally polite and know when to say simple "please" and "thank you". Such little gestures can really mean a lot!
