feeling grateful...

lots going on around here....easy to get overwhelmed & discouraged.   But, I'm deciding to feel grateful instead.
This quote has helped me a lot:
So, rather than feeling overwhelmed or discouraged I need to reach deep enough & look hard enough to feel & recognize how much I've been given...& I have decided...it's the little things that amount to the bigger things. like...
 loving a little Halloween crafting....

enjoying the fall weather.


getting excited for some glimmer misting tonight.


looking forward to a birthday celebration week...not just for cute Dear Lizzie....but some other people I know! *wink*
So...today I'm choosing an attitude of gratitude *wink* love you, Margie...it works!
Share this attitude & I promise you'll have a great day!

    lovely post.
    especially since i am laying on the couch feeling sorry for myself as i have come down with a cold.
    mommies don't get sick days.

    it was about a year ago you did your 21 day challenge...maybe we all needed that as we can get so overwhelmed with this time of year and all the pressure it can bring.
    thanks, rhonna.

    jamie!
    you can do it!
    focus on being grateful for whatever you DO have! You are blessed!

    & yes, I'm thinking we ALL need a 21 Challenge again...now about Nov. 1? :)
