wednesdays are for gratitude – 09.20.10

Posted in a better me on 09/29/2010 04:43 pm by Becca

Ok guys. I’ve been back and forth about this today. I’m feeling a bit of sorrow today, but I don’t want to wallow in it and have it prevent me from being grateful. So, here we go.

  • picking paint colors, remodel plans and general home-sweet-home type conversations with Brad
  • my incredible, supportive family
  • bridal shows and bridal magazines and more importantly, the BFFs who indulge with me
  • the Indian summer we’ve been having
  • trusting that everything is going to work out how it’s supposed to and that I can do anything.
  • Stratejoy!

That wasn’t so bad.

so tell me, what’s getting you out of self-indulgence today?

    You know, I did in a way. I actually tried to write this post at least three times today, but every time I was just completely overcome with sadness. I couldn’t see how I deserved to be publicly grateful. At some point I decided that 1) wallowing wouldn’t get me anywhere and 2) showing my gratitude for the amazing in my life is humbling, more than anything. Thank you for your continued encouragement, Laura (LJ!) It really means so much :)

    That sounds WONDERFUL. Isn’t the weather amazing? I’m just trying to soak it all in before snow! :-/

    Knowing I get to see you this weekend. :)

    I'm so grateful for this Indian Summer too! And I just had a wonderful massage that let me feel a little human once again.

    I love that you did this post even though you weren't feeling it. When you were done, did you find that it was a helpful exercise?

    I am, once again, grateful for YOU, because it changes my whole focus. When my boss called Monday to give me the week off, my first thought after “WOOHOO!!!” was “I can't wait to blog about this on Wednesday!”

    xoxo,

    I don't know what happened. I commented back on this but it's not showing up! So here's the comment:

    Soak it in. We'll have snow before you know it. And I'm slightly jealous of your massage ;)
