Strength

Do you ever have those moments when someone takes the time to say something amazingly nice to you and it makes you tear up?  I think so many of us get caught up in the everyday that we forget to take a step back and say the good things we think about people and not just the bad.

I had a moment like this Sunday morning on the way out of work.  An amazing friend of mine took the time to do that for me and it completely made my day.  Something so simple yet so meaningful. 

So today I challenge you to be inspired by my friend and do the same.  

Take the time to thank a friend you may take for granted at times.

Tell someone you admire why you do.

Even the simplest thing as a smile shared with someone you usually never make eye contact with.

I think at times we just assume that those around us know how highly we think of them but that isn't always the case.  A simple reminder is all it takes and you could turn someones day around.

The quote I am going to share doesn't necessarily have to do with what I talk about above but more about what my friend and I talked about.

 I hope you take this challenge.  If you do I would love to hear about your experience! 

Something to Maybe Make You Smile

I always feel jealous when I look around on pinterest and see all the cute imaginative names people give their boards.  Me? My boards are straight forward and to the point. (That's me making myself feel better for my lack of cool board name creativity.) 

Really, though, maybe it is something I should work on because it could be kind of embarrassing.  Today I will share some of my favorites from a board I creatively call haha.  See? Embarrassing! Who can't come up with something better then that?

Anyways here are some and I hope they make you smile or even laugh like they did for me.

I thought I was the only one that was utterly confused by that as a child.

I had made a promise to myself this week that I would blog every day.

As we have seen though that hasn't been the case.

When I looked at this quote that I had pinned it really sums up what I should be doing.

Instead I usually hold myself to a standard of perfection.

Today I will be remembering this...

Mason Jar Obsession

I go through phases, and in a phase I will be totally and utterly obsessed with something.  Right now it is a mixture of two.  First an foremost is my obsession with Pinterst, which is an amazing new site where you "pin" all the amazing things you see around the internet then it makes a collage of them all. 
The next part of the equation is my somewhat unnatural obsession with mason jars.  I am convinced that they are one of the most inexpensive versatile things you can own.
