Being Thankful...Day 15

I missed yesterday because I slept late and then my day got away from me. So yesterday I was truly thankful for sleep. Sometimes our bodies need a little more sleep and we have to listen to what they are telling us. I am completely guilty of going until I crash. Yesterday, sleep is what mattered and I listened. Have a happy Friday everyone.

Being Thankful...Day 13

Today I am thankful for me. I am thankful for my journey of self discovery. It just so happens that a friend also posted this same saying today and although I don't disagree with her post about being loved, I am taking it somewhere else. My close friends know that I was happy before but see me in this new way of being happy...a glow if you will. This absolutely comes from being loved and treated properly but not by anyone else...by me. I have always felt loved. I have done a great job at keeping out people who don't treat me right. But I have not always believed in me. I have learned to treat myself right and love myself unconditionally. I have learned that I am worth it and that I have to make the time to put me first. In doing this I have learned more about myself and discovered things I didn't know. I am glowing because I am happy with me and I love me. This is my journey.

Being Thankful...Day 12

I am thankful for memories. Specifically those on Facebook. The thing about memories is that they don't just remind you of a time but they make you feel...happy, sad, angry, etc. Not all my memories that come up are good memories, some of them hurt a lot right now but they are MY memories. They are a part of my past that have molded me into who I am. I am proud of that and the journey I am on. I am blessed to have so many memories and I look forward to making many many new ones. Now go make some memories of your own.

Being Thankful...Day 11

I am thankful for technology. Those of you that know me well know that I am not big into technology. I would take a book over a Kindle any day. I love my planner that I can flip through and write in over my calendar on my phone. I would much rather play cards or board games or go for a walk than play a video game or watch TV. But technology has its place in my world too. My Kindle allows me to travel with endless books at my fingertips. The calendar on my phone allows me to check my crazy life when I am on the go without my planner. And THIS. There are days that Facebook drives me crazy and I just want to be done but I love that I can reach out to everyone at the same time. I love that I can post pictures and it can reach to family and friends everywhere at a moment's notice. Being able to stay connected so well to people so far away through technology is a blessing.

Being Thankful...Day 10

Being Thankful..Day 9

I am thankful for music. Music has the capability to move you.. to change your mood...to remind you of a moment in time. Got woken up this morning by my wonderful daughter. I was still asleep because I am battling this cold I seem to deny having. I stumbled to make my coffee and put on some music and started cleaning. Do you listen to music when you clean? Something about it makes me want to keep going, it makes me happy. My plan is to spend time resting today. The music will slow down, the candles will be lit and I will enjoy a quiet Saturday evening. Hope everyone has a great Saturday.

Being Thankful...Day 8

I am thankful for my friends. I am blessed to have so many different groups of friends. I often read memes that talk about it not being the quantity of friends but the quality of friends you surround yourself with. I am thankful that I have a large quantity of great quality friends. They say that it is through your hardest times that you see who your true friends are and I am truly blessed and thankful for the people that I call friends.
