Gratitude Friday is a weekly ritual I started in order to focus on all the small and big positive things that happened during my week. I invite you to join me, you’ll see how much being thankful can change your life. If you want to know more about it, read my introduction post.
Hello dear Souls !
I have noticed that recently, lots of people have their mood in their socks. I do (did) too, to be honest with you.
I blamed the grey weather, the very heavy rain that started pouring, my health. But I have also realized that this Gratitude Friday ritual is exactly what I need. It helps me see the blessing in disguise. The Love all around, in me and outside.
So I really hope it will have the same effect on you, if you decide to take a moment to reflect on all the good happening in your life, and to thank for it.
This week, I am thankful for:
- Synchronicity (talked about my brother T. twice this week and then he calls me).
- My husband really loved his birthday gifts and small celebration, I managed to keep the gifts a surprise. I am also thankful for my neighbor who helped a lot by buying it for me and bringing it for me at home (I don’t drive yet…). And for my parents-in-law who participated.
- New music discovers (today: Emeli Sandé).
- The power of art. Even if I am currently in a creative hole (again) I know it is temporary.
- Knowing it will all be okay. It hard at times, being a mom. But it will get easier. And better. My heart sometimes aches but is still so full of love for these two girls I gave birth too. They are a blessing for this World.
- My new printer/scanner. Can’t wait to find the right paper and change all my prints for the better.
- New creative ideas, there is a LOT I want to try. Some things you would not think I like, but I do. I will experiment. I know my style is evolving. Again.
- The date I have with my husband tonight. Just the two of us. Three hours without the girls (it’s organized by their school). Can’t go to a movie, but will go to a restaurant.
- Explanations. Friendships reconnecting.
- Our beautiful first real Christmas tree.
- Custom paintings (you can see a bit of them in the pictures at the end of this blogpost. They’re the last two). I did two that are shipping today to their owner. And began two new yesterday. (I am still building the page where you can learn all the infos and contact me).
- Getting back on track with what I eat. And sticking to it. Already seeing results, after only a week. I am confident that I can succeed in my weight loss goal.
- The desire to write again. I have Truths that need to be shared. I may have found how. More about it later.
