Thankful Thursday

  Hello, reader! It's Thankful Thursday! This has to be my favorite post of the week to write. I love how my mood changes immediately when I start thinking about all the things to be grateful for. So, let's get happy! 

1. We're going to a Halloween party this weekend! Even though I have to work, I'm looking forward to it! Thomas and I are going as Meg and Hercules (photos to come)

2. The wedding the weekend after that! OMG, I am so excited to see everyone and celebrate my cousin's wedding. I bought the cutest pair of shoes for the occasion, so I'm excited to wear them too. 

3. Being off work today. I had a successful quiet time, walked the dogs, ordered groceries, and started laundry. I am feeling tired today, more than usual, but I still want to get some things done. I'm only off today and Tuesday before we fly to VA. I have a lot to do!

4. Christmas stuff in the stores. This is a hot take, I'm aware, but honestly, its joyful. Seeing pumpkins and reindeer in the same aisle makes me so happy I can't stand it. I love this time of year so much, why not enjoy it all for longer? 

5. My sweet pets this morning. They stayed with me in my office all morning, now they're lying around beside me in the living room. Sleepy little fur balls!

6. My hunky husband. I don't know what I would do without him. He's such a wonderful human. 

7. The constant tug in my heart to follow certain dreams. I'm excited for whatever happens. I pray about it, obey God, and keep doing what I'm doing while I wait for the next step. 

8. My health, both mental and physical. I am truly blessed. I don't want to take it for granted. 

Well, that is all for today! I hope you're able to find things in your life that you are thankful for too!

Decor, Discipline, and Maybe even a Scented Candle๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ•ฏ️

  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 ...

Spring Has Me Writing Again ๐ŸŒผ๐Ÿ’›

  It has been a while, but I am back! It is so nice to be typing here again. After a busy fall, a holiday season that didn't slow down for a minute, and the harshest winter I've ever lived through, I finally feel like I can breathe, and write, again. I will do a quick recap of my life and then explain my plans for the future of this blog.  So, since my last post was in October, life has been full. Here's a little peek at what's been happening behind the scenes: 1. My cousin's wedding was a success! It was beautiful and now they are actually pregnant!!! I can't wait to meet their baby girl.  2. Thomas and I were fortunate to be a part of our friends' engagement that took place in Boston in December! It was so much fun celebrating the two of them and surprising the bride to be! Now I am excited to help her plan their wedding for next year! 3. I'm changing my career from retail pharmacy to hospital inpatient pharmacy! I start in exactly 3 weeks from today. ...
