florida.

It’s pretty here.

food.

From Rocco’s Tacos in Las Olas: Tableside-made guacamole…

…and veggie enchiladas. Weekly Mexican food fix - check.

For dessert I snagged a chocolate-covered Rice Krispy treat from a local candy store. I don’t think I have to explain how insanely good this was.

faith.

This isn’t exactly faith-based, but I always find the Brave Girls Club daily emails being extremely close to some of God’s promises…

(He makes all things new! Revelation 21:5)

Is there something you’re starting over with (or want to) right now?

weekday wisdom: be the one.

“Be the one who nurtures and builds. Be the one who has an understanding and forgiving heart. One who looks for the best in people. Leave people better than how you found them.”

Today I’m thankful for…

Inside jokes.

Dreams. Seriously…how cool is it that we go into alternate worlds in our sleep?

Great roommates. That’s a rarity.

Instagram filters.

God’s assurance when you obey Him even when you reeeeally don’t want to.

Streetside produce stands.

The smell of cigarettes. And bacon. But not together.

Andi visiting this weekend, yay!

Fake leather pants, for those of us who can’t afford the real thing.

When the train gods are on your side (NYers – you know what I’m talking about).

My trip to Florida next week.

Sleeping with the AC on super freezing but being cozy under blankets. Nothin’ better.

What are you thankful for today?

Thankfulness.

It’s something that can literally change your outlook and even outcomes, yet I don’t find myself practicing it nearly enough.

That’s why I’m going to start taking a page from Andi’s book and her Thursday Thankful Lists. I love the idea of stopping and being grateful for the little things – the simple things – that often get overlooked. Like lately…

*****

The fact that I get to work from home. I still pinch myself every morning.

Reading and replying to emails from readers.

That first sip of coffee in the morning.

Email chains with my girlfriends.

S’mores.

Excitement for my best friend’s wedding next week.

My sister being the happiest she ever has after her recent move.

Tumbling all day, every day. Even with no audience.

That my favorite season is around the corner.

This city from now until Christmas. Swoon.

That feeling you can’t describe that something amazing is about to happen.

What are you thankful for today?
