Hello Gratitude

I haven't done a Gratitude post

in quite some time

and

I can feel it in my life.

So in an attempt to refocus

on what I am ever so Grateful for

and

away from  what I can't control 

here goes.

I am grateful for my ability to create with clothes …

because trust me …

this is not how I look most of the time!

But is nice to know I can pull myself together if  need be

and

I have definitely learned 

that good lighting is our friend!

I am grateful that sometimes

I get to be her.

You know those highlights in life

when your life feel like it's coming together
and
you have answers.

Some days I am her

some days 

I yearn to be Her.

Once in a while
she makes me feel a fraud.
But then
I don't think any of us
are always our higher self.
I have learned Self Grace.

This is who I am most days

hair not done

and 

definitely no makeup
workout clothes a mainstay for at least half the day.

But I am always beyond Grateful to be at my favorite beach.

I am always Grateful

to begin my day with candles, coffee and intentional Gratitude

before the sun comes up.

It always helps me set the tone for the day.

I am always so Grateful

our small house faces due East

and 

every sunrise is a piece of art.

I am always so Grateful on Wednesdays

to go kayaking out to the ocean.

Talk about balm for the soul!

I am always a bit tentative on the way out

but once I settle in out there

Wow!

Just Wow!

I am always Grateful for the time spent gardening

Especially when it comes to cutting everything back

at summers end!

I adore and I am Grateful for the simple pleasures of

home styling
and
bringing even little bits of nature indoors.

With even the simple addition of an apple on a shelf.

I am Grateful for finding simple treasures

whether at a flea market

or 

out in nature.

I am always Grateful to get out and mountain bike

especially when the ride ends with such picturesque surprises!

Having the time and opportunity

to get out in nature and be physically active

is one of my  favorite 

balms for my soul these days

and 

something I am 

truly Grateful for!

I'd love to hear yours!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
