Hello Monday … Hello Gratitude

We are having a beautiful November 

here in Southern California!

I have given up wishing for weather we don't have

and 

instead I  am going

 to celebrate

the weather we do have

for all it's worth.

Actually I have decided to adopt this idea 

as a life motto these days!

To truly focus on the good in my life

and 

letting go of 

how I think my life 'should' look.

After some down contemplative time

I am back 

and 

even more invested in 

gratitude

for

all the good and beautiful in my life.

I am grateful 

I have had time to organize and fluff 

my closets and treasured accessories.

Nothing like getting my home in order

to feel my life is in order.

I am grateful I have been able to  restock some needed 

basics in my life.

I really don't like to have to shop

so when I do

I go in with a list 

and

just get it done.

I much prefer using my time

creating in my studio

but there are 

some things

I just can't create :))

Hello to a grateful heart

for a beautiful weekend with my husband.

I am  excited to celebrate his big 50 tomorrow!

I am most grateful

we have been able to make it through some tough times

years past

and

now have a new chapter of marriage before us.

Hello to a grateful heart

for quality time spent with great friends this week!

Hello for gratitude for  a very cool C.

that showed me Starbucks has better cups tha  red!

Best latte I ever had there!

Hello for gratitude and excitement

that I get to take the train down the coast this week

to go visit my darling daughter in San Diego!

We have a work meeting scheduled

and

then it's off to work on plans

for her up coming engagement party next month!

Hello to gratitude for a magnificent hike in El Morro

with an old friend and new.

The best part

doing heart opening yoga at the top.

I pressed that sacred moment of gratitude

and

 saying yes to life 

deep in my heart.

Nothing like seeing the ocean

to be reminded of the majesty of life

here and beyond.

Wishing you all a beautiful new week

full of gratitude.

Sending  some

SoCal sunshine your way!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

 as you style your life
