Hi everyone! Its Friday, how did that happen? Needless to say I welcome the weekend with open arms:)

Today is a gray day, cool like the first days of autumn, and I am sipping on a chai at work enjoying the phone not ringing and soft music playing on my computer. I just received some pretty shocking news about someone I love very much. It's not my news to tell so I wont, but I am just holding those feelings, sending that person love and feeling very grateful for everything in my life.

I get to wake up in a safe home, with a sweet man, two little fur balls that I love with all my heart, and so much of my family so close by. I get my baby sister to help me be creative and see grow up, I get my  mom to visit with and drink tea with and talk about life and how it changes and grows in unexpected ways. I get a brother and sister who don't live close by, but who I get to send funny text messages to through out my days and have long phone conversations with. I get a best friend who loves me unconditionally and who I love back, someone to speak with and feel zero judgment from. I get a husband, who is kind and beautiful and smart and funny and trustworthy and who always figures out how to give me everything I want, who simply smirks when I show him the millionth thing I made that week with a stupid grin on my face, who doesn't get mad when is spend $100 on yarn, and who will be such a good father.

Ok, getting sentimental over here. But seriously, how often do you check in and feel grateful for your life? I definitly don't do it enough.

I hope your loved one is doing ok. It's good to take a little inventory, I try to be grateful for even small things and really take a sec to acknowledge them in my mind...I feel like it goes a long way toward being more positive in general. I even try to keep a gratitude journal but my record is a liiittle spotty.

I hope your friend or family member is doing ok.
Your dress is completely adorable by the way.

Lovely outfit and wonderful words. I am also very grateful for so much my life has to offer, thanks for helping me reflect on that. I was feeling a bit bummed today, for absolutely no reason at all.
