30 Days of Thanks: Self-Care (Day 4)

Butterflies, we’re four days into the “30 Days of Thanks” short post series and today I’m thankful for “me time”. Rhythm and blues singer Heather Headly could probably explain it better but in case you’re not sure what I’m referring to, me time is what ever amount of time you dedicate to taking care of your self or indulging in the things you like. I was once told by an ex-coworker some years ago that it’s impossible to take care of anyone else if you don’t take care of you; years later I fully understand the importance of her message. Being a wife/mom while working full-time and still trying to accomplish your life goals can definitely get overwhelming at times; taking care of your mind, body and soul is the key to being successful at what ever you’re trying to accomplish. To be honest I’ve been feeling really “blah” for the last few months, it’s been a tough task trying to get back to normal since the hurricane. Anyway, I enjoyed a few hours to my self at the spa today; I was able to momentarily clear my mind and just be in the moment. I’m thankful for that.

30 Days of Thanks: The Kid (Day 3)

I made up my mind as a kid growing up in a home where there was ALWAYS kids EVERYWHERE that I didn’t want kids of my own. Then I grew up, life happened and thirteen years ago I was gifted the most amazing little human I’ve ever known. I love her, she’s my best friend; she makes me want to be better, she makes me laugh, she cheers me up on some of my hardest days without even knowing it and it’s so cute when she tries to take care of me. Today is the third day of my “30 Days of Thanks” short post series and today I am thankful for my beautiful little princess.

30 Days of Thanks: The Guy (Day 2)

He’s an extrovert and I’m an introvert, it’s weird but it works. He’s my best friend, he let’s me be myself, he’s patient with me, he works hard, he makes me laugh, he comforts me, he’s unbelievable thoughtful and kind, he’s considerate, he’s mild tempered and careful with his words. We’re different in so many ways but alike in so many others, today and everyday I’m thankful for my guy.

30 Days of Thanks: Life (Day 1)

Hey Butterflies. So since it’s November and Thanksgiving is in a few weeks, I decided I wanted to do a “30 Days of Thanks” short post series. Often times it’s hard to see the good things that are going on around us because we’re so consumed with everything that’s going wrong in our life. Each day for the month of November I’m going to share something positive about my day that I’m thankful for. So... when it comes to sports most of my favorite teams are in New York ( i.e. the Yankees and the New York Giants) because I love NY but I’m forever loyal to my hometown teams first. Today I’m thankful for my hometown baseball team; the Houston Astros defeated the LA Dodgers and became World Series Champions for the first time in their franchise history. Go Astros!

30 Days of Thanks (2017)

Life is full of overwhelming, unexpected, and unfair situations but choosing to find little specs of goodness in everything that’s going on around you is how you acquire happiness. I decided I want to write more about the little things that get me through the days, bringing me joy that’s oftentimes overlooked or taken for granted. 

Since it’s November, what better month would there be to show life some gratitude? Here’s my 30 Days of Gratitude 2017.
