Hi Friends! I want to thank my friend Jen for sharing this Gratitude Challenge. She inspired me to give it a shot so that's what I am doing....I need to catch up on the first 12 days of the month but that's ok...gratitude is a wonderful and healthy practice and it reminds us to be thankful for the little things...which often times, become the big things in life...and what better month than November to put this into practice right?
Here we go...
Day 1. Something you Appreciate About Your Everyday Routine
Flexibility with my job which allows me to work from home- helps me to hit the gym first thing...or take a walk on the rail trail at lunch time...make dinner for my family and basically just be able to be present for my girls- well Eva now and Remi of course
Day 2. Something You Love About This Season Of Your Life
Watching my girls live their best lives and at the same time, supporting each other...nothing makes my Mama Heart happier and grateful!
Day 3. A Moment You Wish You Could Bottle Up
This summer was our 14th annual...oh my heart
So many but I will pick one...a Mommy Daughter Boogie Board Day...with my girls...on the beach....getting silly...soaking up the sun...that is pure bliss to me
Day 4. Something You Love About Getting Older
The Wisdom...The Ability to "Let Them"...and all of The Experience
Day 5. A Sound That Instantly Makes You Happy
Besides my family's voices....and my Remi's barks/howling? I would say many Taylor Swift Songs :)
Day 6. Something You Have Now That You Once Dreamed About
My Little Family...my hubby...my girls...my dog...it was my biggest dream growing up :)
Day 7. Something Your Younger Self Would Love About Your Life
That I have been a Recruiter for over 25 years...I stayed..when so many quit...it is grueling work...especially in the down years...but those who stick it out and work through it are the true warriors...the survivors...and those of us who love it are the crazy ones! :)
Day 8. Something That Makes Your Home Feel Cozy
Candles and Christmas Decor
Day 9. A Little Inconvenience That Turned Into Something Good
When our flight was cancelled on the way home from South Carolina during spring break Diana's Junior Year (2025)...we were put on a standby...had to run across the airport...barely made it on when another family didn't show up...more than a little inconvenience? Well...I think it turned into something good because we taught Diana a lesson...if you come down here to go to school...you will need to navigate situations like this on your own...she looked up at me and I knew in that instant, she would not go to a school where she had to fly there...blessing in disguise? Definitely something GOOD :)
10. A Tradition You Hope Never Changes
Going To Mass as a Family on Christmas Eve...one of my favorite nights of the year
11. A Way You Have Surprised Yourself This Year
With business being down for me for the third year, I didn't resort to anxiety and depression...I just did my best to fight through...do the right things...work a second job...and keep the faith
12. Something Beautiful You Noticed Today
Beautiful and and brought me Pure Joy :)
