Gratitude Mondays ~ 3.24.14

Only 6 more days left in the month, and only one more Monday left of March. Thank goodness we can ascend into the beautiful spring and summer haze that emerges during April. I look forward to tank tops, flip flops, braided hair, and minimal makeup. Definitely not the snow predicted for tomorrow that's for sure. But this too shall pass? Humph.

Gratitude at it's best:

I am grateful for my 20 minute run and sixty minutes of yoga that followed.

I am grateful for new sneakers, not the slightest off balance or torn.

I am grateful for already made notecards (made over the weekend) that make studying a breeze this week.

I am grateful for having caught up on my sleep this past weekend.

I am grateful for coffee and tea and water with lemon.

I am grateful for the beautiful hydrangeas sitting potted on my desk, a lovely gift from two great friends.

I am grateful for my spirit, my attitude towards adventure, and my desire to live a fulfilled life of my choosing.

What are you grateful for?

Back from Break ~ 3.17.14

Hi Loves! Back from break and even though I meant to do a lot of blogging, I found myself needing the week to be away from the computer with my nose stuffed in a few books. Don’t hold it against me…

I have a lot to love in my life, but lately it’s been tough for me to recognize their beautiful presence. I’ll probably think of a lot more by the end of the day, but right now…

Gratitude:

I am grateful for heat in my room during these incredibly chilly sleet days.

I am grateful for the picture of my puppy next to my bed to greet me in the mornings.

I am grateful for sustenance and yoga mats.

I am grateful for 8 weeks left.

Gratitude Mondays ~ 3.3.14

Happy Monday, Everyone! Sorry for the lack of a weekend post. I got a little side-tracked and sick this weekend. Only four days of class left until break! Annnnnddd I’ve got a Wake v. Duke basketball game, two tests, and a girl’s night out before the end of the week. Awesome!

What are your plans this week? Is it busy or quiet? Crazy or chill?

What I am grateful for…

I am grateful for the sunshine of 70 degree Sundays.

I am grateful for piggy back rides, long walks, and flip flops.

I am grateful for laughter and plans with friends.

I am grateful for fun links and beautiful picture.

Mostly, I am grateful that I get to write my thoughts down and use my brain each and ever day.

Here are some fun links I have yet to post…

A fun comic on drinking coffee, because it is midterms and Monday.

The Olympic winners caught frame by frame.

Genius Photoshop Project: Jackie O is my idol, and she still manages to be beautiful with ink. Question: Would you think any differently of these figures if they had actually been/ were actually covered in tattoos?

Does anyone not like Seth Grogen? It’s impossible not to love him.

For all those as grammar obsessed as me: a quick comic on proper uses of who versus whom.
