Just wanting to pop on quickly and say hi, and write about something that perhaps many could use today. Often times, especially now being the holidays for a lot of people, we dwell on what’s going wrong in our lives and how things could be better #amiright?? Who is missing from Christmas dinner that we wish were there, I wish I had xx more dollars to get Johnny what he really wants for Christmas, I wish I had a different job, my bonus was sh*t…jelly of the month club???
What if today, just for a moment, we hit pause. Can we, ask ourselves to release those feelings for a couple minutes and let in the good? Can we allow ourselves to feel the joy in all the good we do have right in front of us. Let’s make a list! Grab a piece of paper and write out everything you love about your life right now.
My loving husband
My children
Their education, and the fact that they love to go to school.
I am grateful for my family’s health.
This baby growing inside me, and the the little kicks I feel that remind me of this beautiful pregnancy.
I am grateful for our home, it’s so cozy this time of year. We are lucky to have heat and basic things that many people around the world do not have.
I am grateful for helping those 5 families earlier this week. We collectively as a community supported them in a time of dire need and what better in life is there than that!?
Speaking of community, I am SO grateful for all of you. You are the reason that I am able to stay home and provide for my family. The incredible blessing that is this blog and beyond is so much more than I could have ever dreamed of, while I have you, THANK YOU!!
I am grateful for my parents, my brother and his wife, and Brian’s family. There is so much unconditional love and support between us that makes me feel safe and like I have a tribe of people at my back who will always be there.
My friends. I am grateful to have a solid group of women in my life that I can talk to about anything, and who I have so much fun being around.
I could go on and on…as I’m sure you can as well. Let’s keep this list tucked away somewhere and pull it out when we need a reminder, k??
Have an amazing day today, and Happy Holidays my friends!!
