“When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” – Willie Nelson<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think Willie Nelson\u2019s on to something, and science backs him up. Studies<\/a> show that regularly practicing gratitude can increase long-term well-being and happiness, among many other benefits<\/a>. This can be as simple as writing down three things you\u2019re thankful for every evening before bed. Who couldn\u2019t use a little more happiness in their lives? And what better time to start practicing gratitude than during the Thanksgiving season? We\u2019ve once again put together the Prime Team\u2019s<\/a> annual gratitude list, and we hope you\u2019ll be inspired to count your blessings, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue \u2013 She\u2019s the reason I get up in the morning. Mainly because she has to go to the bathroom and eat. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MELISSA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This past year was a doozy, so there is plenty for which I am thankful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am thankful that bone cancer only took Pooper kitteh\u2019s leg but neither his spirit nor his life at the start of the year. I\u2019m thankful that I had another 10 months of mostly heartwarming but some heartbreaking memories with my giant monstah floof before just recently having to say goodnight for the last time. And while it wasn\u2019t nearly long enough, I am thankful for the 11 perfectly imperfect years I was able to comfort and care for Tiny Poo. She had a litany of health issues her entire life, but I loved her all the same. She truly was the tiniest cutest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pooper-and-Tiny-Poo-Melissa-Gratitude-Prime-Advertising\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am thankful for 10 years (and counting) with a husband who is supportive, encouraging, loving, and profoundly understanding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kirk-Gratitude-Melissa-Prime-Advertising\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am thankful for two gentle and hilarious doggos, for the good times and great tunes at Martin Zellar and Gear Daddies shows, and for being closer to family and friends while maintaining solid connections with my St. Cloud pals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Doggos-Melissa-Gratitude-Prime-Advertising\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Martin-Zellar-Gratitude-Melissa-Prime-Advertising\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And I am thankful for the network of friends that just helped us welcome two new furry family members, Arthur James and Luna Moon Beam, and the foresight to know that adopting kittens can be a challenge but is ultimately an immeasurable reward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
