Thankful Thursday

  Hello! It's Thankful Thursday!



I am confident that happiness is a result of a thankful heart! So let's get happy!

1. My pets' vet. They are so sweet! I had to get Joey in last minute this morning because I completely forgot about his appointment last Friday! I still feel so awful about that, but the team at the office is so kind and understanding. They got us in right away today. 

2. I love this time of year so much. I am so grateful for this new season. I am enjoying as much of it as I can this year! 

3. I have dinner plans with some friends on Monday after work, so I'm excited for that! 

4. My morning walks with the boys. I am enjoying this weather. It's the perfect way to get in some steps for the day and clear my mind. I can focus better all day. I love to be in the sun, moving. 

5. Being off work today. Enough said! 

6. My wonderful husband. Thomas truly is the best. I am so thankful for him. 

7. My late dear uncle's study Bible. I can't bring myself to make notes in it yet. And I may never do it. I was so grateful when mom said I could have it. I love reading the Bible- especially this one. It feels like a sacred bridge to him. 

8. My in-laws visiting next weekend! I love when they come to visit us! We always go out to eat, have a nice brunch downtown. We may even go to the beach one day! 

9. My productive morning today. After taking Joey to the vet for some shots, I got together with a couple of my neighbors to walk our dogs, ordered groceries for pick up later today, then I started up some laundry. I always feel so much better when I get stuff off my plate early in the day. Now I can relax and crochet!

10. My changing perspective. I am constantly trying to focus on something else other than myself. When I am constantly worried about my own problems (or making up my own problems because I'm a worrier who always results to the worst-case scenario), I become depressed. It's not clinical depression or anything serious, thankfully, but it still puts me in a poor mood. 

Whenever I start to feel worried, anxious, or alone, I start thinking about other people. Who could I pray for right now? Or I start thinking about how much I have to look forward to. When I get home from work tonight, I have three sweet pets, a hot husband, and probably something yummy to eat waiting for me! If I only focus on the negative, my whole mood is negative. I hate feeling like that. I have been trying really, really hard to stay positive. There is more to my life than the negative moments. Anyway, I'm thankful that I have started doing this, because I think I was about to go crazy!

Thank you for reading today! I will see you tomorrow for a fun, random Flashback Friday post! 

xoxo

Our Last Monday in August

  Good morning! I am glad you're here 😄. Today I want to talk about what I am currently crocheting. Grab your crochet hooks, a cup of coffee, and let's get into it! I took this a few weeks ago, one Sunday evening. Thomas and I were hanging out on the deck with our dogs, enjoying the warm weather. I should be finishing up with these hot-girl squares and I'll let you know what I make of them! I learned how to make a new hot-girl square... a skull hot-girl square! They are so cute and so much easier than I thought they would be! I decided to learn how to make them one morning a couple weeks ago when Thomas and I were at the beach. It was a perfect morning. We grabbed iced lattes and acai bowls from our favorite beachside cafe, and enjoyed the entire morning in the sand.  My first one kind of resembled a storm trooper, but I have gotten a little better since this picture! I also decided that I am going to make blankets for my family and friends. I have mentioned this before, b...

Fall 2025 Goals!

Hello! I don't know about you, but I am absolutely ready for this long weekend. I have had a crazy week at work.  Anyway, I want to dedicate this post to my Fall 2025 Goals!  In no particular order, here is a list of some of my goals: 1. Decorate - I want to go all out this year. I have a blow up Snoopy and Great Pumpkin inflatable in my Walmart shopping cart online. I want to have a pretty assortment of pumpkins out on my stoop. Last year, we didn't really have decorations up for the trick-or-treaters, and I want to go all out this year. I will definitely be posting pictures of my progress! 2. Watch lots of football - This will be easy as my husband, Thomas, has an entire room in our house dedicated to watching games. Of course, I will be crocheting blankets while he has the game on tv.  3. Dress up for Halloween - We will probably go to one of our friend's Halloween parties this year, and I am excited to dress up! I'm not sure what Thomas and I will go as, but I am ex...

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle🍂🕯️

  Good morning, reader! I feel a mindful essay coming on! Grab a coffee and maybe a notebook, because this essay has some numbered bullet points!  I have been thinking about discipline a lot lately. I feel like it goes hand in hand with attention span, self-awareness, and ambition. Is it becoming more and more rare? They say with smart phones, everyone's attention spans are diminishing. I have noticed this with myself sometimes. This is not a judgement- just an observation I've made about myself and the world around me. And I want to refine it for myself. I want to be disciplined so that I can live my dream life.  I am dedicating this post to 3 ways to be more disciplined in a world that has little to none. So, let's begin! 1. Why do you want this? I believe you should first recognize why you want to achieve something. Is it for your health? Is it for your career? Maybe it's less extreme than that. Maybe it's for your home to be decorated for Halloween. Whatever it ...
