Be Thankful...

Boy, did I ever need this as a reminder last week! It was one of those weeks where nothing seemed to work or be good enough.. do you know what I mean? I felt like I was going to be in that never ending rut forever! Luckily, the sun is shining and that makes a world of a difference this week! I think I can finally feel spring coming (it's almost here...right?) and that alone makes me so happy! 

I made this print and have made it my computer background picture because I think it's so important to keep this in mind. There is always something to be thankful for. Even if you think you're life is going nowhere or you aren't where you think you should be, you can always be thankful for what you do have! It's easy to say that and I know so much harder to actually do it, but if you take the time and look around, I'm sure you can find a few things that you are so thankful to have. I started doing this as a daily task to think of 3 things I am thankful for. It doesn't have to be anything life changing or major, but simply 3 things you are happy you did or have. It really puts things in perspective and makes you realize things aren't ever that big of a deal!

So I thought I'd share my 3 things that I'm thankful for today... in no particular order:

1. Starbucks- I know this sounds bad, but since working from home I've learnt that I need to get out of the house once a day. Seeing that it has been -100 degrees or so around here lately, taking a quick trip to Starbucks has been a great substitute for going for a walk.

2. My apartment- yes it may be tiny, and I may have cursed it out many times this past week because there is no storage left, but in the end I am so thankful that I have this little place of my own. It does feel like home and I love that I get to share it with my best friend.

3. Music (in particular Beyonce)- seriously guys, music is the best thing ever created. It instantly lifts my mood and gives me energy throughout the day. And there is nothing more energizing than listening to Beyonce... really loud (sorry neighbours). Since last week was not very energizing or motivating, I threw on some Beyonce first thing this morning and it instantly put me in a great mood! If you're feeling a little down, seriously throw some Beyonce on, dance around your house and sing at the top of your lungs...it will help!
