Thankful Thursday

Hello friends! I decided that in order to keep consistency with this blog, I will do a weekly Thankful Thursday post. This will be about anything that I am thankful for. I believe that happiness starts with a thankful heart, so this will be a great way to increase positivity and keep things in perspective for us. So, without further ado, I will share what I am thankful for this week!

  1. Getting my hair done today! I LOVE getting my hair done. I have the best hair girl in Portsmouth! She always does such a great job and we have the best conversation. One thing about me, I am a girls' girl. I can usually strike up a decent conversation with almost any girl. I believe we girls need to stick together!
  2. Getting our pool up; Yall, this pool... I am so thankful it is almost over. We have worked so hard on it. I can't wait to enjoy it next weekend when I'm off work. 
  3. Talking to my granny more this week. I love my family. I miss them. Ever since I moved to NH, I feel so much more myself. But I do miss my family. It would be so nice to be able to actually visit with them any ol day of the week. Maybe go out to eat a nice meal. Have a long talk and coffee date. Facetiming Granny yesterday has made me feel grounded. 
  4. Finally starting this blog. Okay, so you know that writing has been a dream of mine for a while. I've always kept a diary. I love to write. Little stories, journal entries, essays on made up topics, anything. I enjoy writing. I kept feeling this pull towards blogging. Random blogs would show up on my social media and I kept thinking, wow writing a blog post everyday seems like something I could do, maybe even like doing. Anyway, after a couple of years of debating on whether or not to start a blog, I am thankful that I finally decided to do it. I am excited to one day look back and see all of my posts and hopefully see some progress as a writer and storyteller. Me starting a blog in June of 2025 is happening for a reason, and I am thankful for that reason. 
Thank you for reading today's post! Even if my sister, Rachel, is my only the only reader, thanks for reading, Rachel!

Halfway Through 2025

  “Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”  — Carl Bard I don't know anything about Carl Bard, but I do love this quote. Today, we are starting the seventh month of 2025. Halfway through the year! Where did the time go? What were we doing? What will we do with what's left? If you're like me, you are probably wondering these questions too. I am going to dedicate this post to be an inspiration to make 2025 what you want it to be, even if we're 50% of the way through.  The First Half Is Over We should definitely celebrate what we accomplished the first half of the year. I love celebrating things. I think it's encouraging to keep going until you have accomplished something else worth celebrating. That being said, I don't like to be caught up on mistakes made or missed opportunities. I hate dwelling on the negative. One thing that is tough to address is that we can't change what has happened....

What I Read This Month

Listed below are some of the books I've read over the last several weeks. I think my taste in books has started to change from pure fiction to autobiography/memoirs. I am really liking true stories being shared, not just made up characters. I feel like I actually know these people because they're real. It's something I never considered reading, but I love it and maybe you will to!  Book # 1 Dinner for Vampires So I half physically read and half listened to the audio version, and I loved it! Bethany Joy Lenz is one of my favorite actresses on the Hallmark Channel, and I loved her character from One Tree Hill. I figured her life story would be interesting, and IT IS! It's about her life as a young adult in a real life cult. One thing I really liked about the audio version is that she actually narrates the whole thing, and sings in it, has some guest stars and she has such a great voice. I highly recommend.  Book # 2 The Third Gilmore Girl Oh Kelly Bishop... I had no idea ...

Slow Mornings

Slow mornings… Is there anything better than a nice, slow morning? Whether you are able to sleep in a couple extra hours, or if you are still the early riser you are on a work day, just taking everything slow. Enjoying the coffee for a little bit longer. Extending quiet time out a little longer. Maybe even going to brunch. If you’re like me, you probably associate slow mornings with vacation, and everyone is their best self on vacation.  Joey I love to spend slow mornings on my deck, with coffee, my bible and whatever Bible study I’m working through. My dogs accompany me as well. They run around the yard until they get tired from the heat and then they walk back up to the deck to lie down near me.  Another slow morning luxury- getting ready. Normally, I am busting through my usual 15 minute routine and trying to get out the door sooner rather than later. When I am able to get ready not in a rush- it is transcendent. I listen to a podcast, whatever new audio book I’m listening...
