Good morning Friends!
Do I have a treat for you today! Not only am I going to post on this chilly Friday morning, but I will be getting back into my old habits of lists on Fridays. Things must be getting back to normal for me because I know this is out of the ordinary as of late. Things are slowing down for me, but the stress seems to be lingering. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining, I am happy that things are slowly getting into more of a routine and I am feeling more comfortable with life. I have been taking some time to re-evaluate things, and let me tell you, things are good. So let us all take a deep breath in and slowly let it out as we get back to the abundant things of life. As my past posts have been mentioning, sometimes things work out. Sometimes in the way we plan and sometimes not. When life happens in an unexpected way, we are then stuck with dealing with the facts. Does it sometimes seem unfair? Most definitely. I do believe that things happen for a reason, but lately, I have been having a hard time remembering that. It is especially hard when the hopes are high and bad things happen to great people. This is such a struggle for me. I have a very optimistic attitude (as you all are well aware of) and I do believe that it rubs off on people, as I want it to. The down side to this is when something so great is an inch away, hopes are up, happiness is abundant, and then it all comes crashing down. When this happens, I do know that there is a rhyme and a reason why, but it is hard to see sometimes. I know if may seem like I am talking in circles, but that is life. A confusing, amazing, brilliant, and frustrating ride. When life comes crashing down, it is then that I am thankful for everything around me. It is times like these that I look for a pick me up. A reason to celebrate.
Finally, friends, we have made it to the list of the day. Today’s list is one that will help you celebrate this great Fall month. My list will give you insight on what you can celebrate each day of the month, as well into next month if you need a bit more celebration.
