Thankful Thursday

 

    Good morning! Welcome back for another Thankful Thursday post!

    I believe that being happy starts with being grateful, so lets get happy! I am going to list some things I am so grateful for this past week.

    1. A wonderful vacation with Thomas' family! We had the absolute best week. I enjoyed spending time with our nieces, going to the beach every day, seeing Thomas' cousins, and so much more. It was a packed week!
    2. Being asked to be a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding later this year! Ahh, weddings... I love going to them. This wedding will be back home in VA in October. I can't wait!
    3. Finally getting over this cold! No explanation needed. 
    4. Going out to eat for Thomas' birthday dinner this weekend! He chose Moxy for his birthday dinner this year and I am looking forward to it! Going out to eat might be our favorite thing to do. 
    5. Being off tomorrow through Sunday! I love a long weekend!
    6. My special chair I sit in on my deck. This chair is actually just a regular chair for our outdoor table, but it is positioned so I can lookout into the yard, be in the shade perfectly under the umbrella if need be. I could (and have) sit in this chair for hours. I do my quiet time here, I read here, eat here, and I have even crocheted in this chair. It's magical. 
    7. My new nail color! It's a bright blue, a little brighter than I thought it would be, but as it turns out, I love this color. 
Of course, I have so much more to be thankful for! I could go on and on, but these are just a few of the highlights. I give God all the glory and praise this morning! I have a lot to look forward to and a lot to be thankful for now. I hope you have a great, thankful day today!

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...
