Thankful Thursday – Baskets of Clothes
Hi there! This series shares 5 things I’m grateful for from the week. It’s a real-life mindset exercise for feeling abundant.
1. My hubby’s Birthday
His birthday was yesterday, and it reminded me how lucky I am to have him in my life. He’s my emotional rock, my best friend, and an amazing dad to our kids. I’d be lost without him.
2. Beautiful Words From Others
I’ve been writing more newsletters lately. It has been inspiring to dig up so many beautiful quotes. There’s so much to be gained from the wisdom of others. Here’s one from tomorrow’s highlights on Oprah:
“Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Just find a new way to stand.”
Oprah Winfrey
3. Precious Time With Friends
At this stage of life, it can be hard to find time for friends. But last weekend, I celebrated a dear friend’s 40th birthday. And this weekend, I’ll be reconnecting again with a different group. These gatherings bring me so much joy. They bring much-needed laughs and lightheartedness. Something that’s often missing during the week of work and parenting.
4. That We Have Clothes to Wear
This picture isn’t pretty. But it’s real. Since I spent time with friends over the weekend, daily to-dos got sacrificed. And I have yet to catch up. Everytime I glance to this corner of the room it makes me cringe. But then again, at least we have clothes to wear.
I’ll take care of it today. Maybe.
5. Shelter – Plain & Simple
On Tuesday, the temperature dropped a whopping 57 degrees. And that Kansas wind picked up. As I listened to it howl outside, I thought about how grateful I was to be in my warm and cozy house.
