Thankful

 

Thanksgiving...

 This post is more about inspiration than where to find this look (if you want to know where I found these pieces just message me or comment below).  This may inspire an outfit choice for your holiday season or give you inspiration to take a deeper look. Whichever is fine but, I wanted to share how I am inspired through the holiday season.

Now don't get me wrong, you know, I love a good ensemble and, I love me some turkey and, trimmings. Especially, stuffing! haha  BUT this time of year always makes me take a closer look and reflect on all the good, that has come into my life over the past year. Sure, it is easy to point out the bad, what could of been better, or get caught up in the day to day.  I promise though once you start focusing on the good things; is when your life changes and your perspective of life changes. 

 There are so many things to be grateful and thankful for. The more you pay attention to that, the more you are able to give and receive. Life truly blesses us everyday, we just have to make sure we are paying attention.

During this time of year, I write a new gratitude list. It truly fills your heart to see (it in writing ) how amazing life can be. I am so happy through the holidays because I am surrounded by those I love the most, so it is a perfect time for me to write a new gratitude list. I choose this happy peak to write my new list, so there is little negativity to cloud my thoughts.  

Having this list is a life saver at times. It is that friendly reminder through the year; that is it a bad day, not a bad life. The simplicity of that is so refreshing and brings me to peace. This list yet such a small gesture can make such a big difference. I hope this inspires you to make a gratitude list this season long or short; I promise you won't regret it!

I'll leave you with my favorite verse from a country song, that is also a year round reminder of the kind of life and love I want to give and receive.

....Be a best friend,

tell the truth,

and overuse I love you,

go to work,

do your best,

don't outsmart your commonsense,

never let your prayin' knees get lazy

and love like crazy...

Happy Thanksgiving loves!
