Thankful Thursday – In the moment
Categories:
This week I’m thankful that I have finally realized I need to live in the moment.
After a long walk and talk with the Mister last night, I realized that so often I think about my next steps and what I want out of life, that I sometimes fail to realize the beauty of what’s in front of me.
I fixate on ‘where I want to be’ in regards to my job, school (going back for PhD), family (KIDS!), home-life (HOUSE), etc., that sometimes I forget about what I have NOW.
The fact is, when I WAKE UP and look around…I’ve got it pretty good.
I am married to the love of my life, am supported by my fantastic family, live in a trendy area that is full of culture and ‘hidden gems,’ have a job that encourages my creativity and have an outlet to express myself via The Daily Balance.
To further drive home my ‘live in the moment’ mentality, I figured this would be a good week for a list.
This week, I’m thankful for:
The generosity of everyone in regards to the Blogger Bake Sale
Me and the Mister’s upcoming trip to Toronto! (we leave tomorrow!)
My Mister, for reminding me to live in the moment
The fact that fall is right around the corner!
Wearing fall boots this week! (I don’t care if you think I’m crazy, it was chilly!)
The upcoming birthday dinners (the Mister’s bday in on Sunday! – We’re celebrating with his Dad tonight and my parents on Monday)
The long weekend
Scented candles
The fact that every day with the Mister is my new ‘best day of my life’
Good conversation
