Thankful Thursday

smlthankfulthursday
Welcome to Thankful Thursday. This has been an important activity to help me stay positive. Life can be way too stressful and its easy to forget the good things. This week, I am thankful for good health. I pray everyday for myself and my husband to have good health. I also pray for the kitties to have good health. This may sound silly to some people but to me it is important. Please share what you are thankful for. I love swapping stories with my bloggy friends.

Thankful Thursday


Dear bloggy friends, welcome to thankful Thursday. This is a post I enjoy doing because it keeps me thinking about the good things in my life. This week I am thankful for all my friends and family. I have a good group of people who love and support me. It's sad that some people are far away, most all of my family, but I am sure to stay close to my friends. There is no way I could go through stressful times without these beautiful people. God has blessed me and I am very thankful.






The picture is from a card I just got from my bloggy swap friend. I am very excited to share everything with you. Please share what you are thankful for today.

Top Pick Tuesday

This photo is from my brother in laws wedding. I love lines and symmetry and I try to capture that from unique angles.

Funny but not funny then story. I had to fly to Seattle and meet up with the family. I didn't really know anyone in the wedding party but was invited to the bachelorette party. We were drinking and having a good time at this restaurant. I completely forgot my iPhone at the table but by the time I realized it we were nowhere near the restaurant. We went back and it wasn't turned in. It was gone. Forever. Cute purple case never to be seen again. I had my camera and tried to enjoy the festivities but thought about my iPhone the whole time. I had a friend pick me up at the airport and she couldn't call me since there was no iPhone. That was a challenge finding her and quite stressful. I replaced the iPhone for $500 and have never let my baby get too far from me. That wasn't my best moment in time.

Top pick Tuesday

This is one of my top photos and it turned out to make great post cards.

Dear bloggy friends, If you like any of my photos please let me know which one. I will be happy to send you a hard copy. If you would like to post my photos on your blog, I will happily share. We all love beautiful things and that's why we spend time decorating our homes and dressing in cute outfits. Surrounding ourselves in beauty is a way of creating calm in a stressful world. I believe beauty should be shared. I also think I have some awesome photos. It would be an honor if you agreed with me. 

What is your top pick for Tuesday? Thanks for sharing with me.

Staying strong


Today’s rating is Positive.


I have made it through another day of work and I wore the red shiny heals. I have only Friday to get through and then finally family comes home. Permanently. It will be a blessing and I will be able to close this stressful chapter of my life. Thank you friends, family and Lord for being my support. There’s no way I could have been successful without all the support and assistance.

Distractions are good


Today’s rating is Positive.


Work was less demanding, I had a good conversation with HR at a company for a potential opportunity, and scheduled an appointment to show off the home. A lot was completed today, which is always very good.


I read an article about what to do when you hate your job. I found it useful because it is so important to distract yourself from a stressful situation. I find that I need a new distraction every day. Some days, I’m distracted by tv and other days I’m distracted by an activity with friends. This has been an effective strategy for me. If you find yourself blue and wallowing in misery, find something positive to distract you from the tough situation. You’ll feel better, like me.

Confidence boost


Today’s rating is Positive.


I had a good day and that was partially because of my shoes. I had my shiny red comfy heals, which I wore with jeans to dress them up. I felt great walking tall in these shoes. I’ve had these shoes for about a year but haven’t worn them because of the colder winter weather. Maybe you have a spring outfit that you haven’t been able to wear for awhile. If you bring it out, your confidence could reach new highs and help reduce some stress.


On the job hunt, I have added one more company to the list that I am researching. I hope to schedule a phone interview with at least two companies this week. I’ll be moved in 20 days. Perhaps, I’ll have a job lined up by then. I am also praying for our home because we need to find a qualified person to rent. We have a company taking care of that work for us. I know all these issues will work themselves out with God’s help. Not knowing the answer can be so difficult and stressful though. Thanks for reading!

Refreshing


Today’s rating is Positive.


It rained for a little bit today and that was so refreshing to smell. It might have brought some allergies with it too but its totally worth it. I addressed some conflict that I was feeling and I know it was the right thing to do. At the same time it was not very easy.


The most refreshing thing for me today is to get to bed early. Dealing with people can be so stressful and I know that I need extra sleep. If you have had a tough day, consider a nap or going to bed early and you might feel more refreshed after.

Excitement builds


Today’s rating is Positive.


As I count the days, I am growing more excited. I know that there are some big changes coming and its going to be very good. On some of my toughest stressful days, feeling excited about something in the future helps me get through the day. Its a big relief and sometimes all that can be done is to change your perspective.


I am still on the hunt for a new job. There are still some possible prospects but I will be patient for now. I’ll just keep the hunt for now and pray for the wisdom to accept the right position.

Connections


Today’s rating is Positive.


As I think about the last two years of my life, I can see that it was incredibly stressful. What is interesting to me is that the stress hasn’t changed or left but I have been able to change my frame of mind. Generally, I am a positive person but I can’t maintain that focus all the time. If I lose concentration, things can go downhill fast for me.


The only change I’ve made is reaching out to friends and family. Literally, I forced myself to email at least one person or text a different person. I had to force myself to stay in touch because I found that I was too lazy, complacent, and content to stay miserable. Yeah, that doesn’t make sense. I still have challenges to overcome but I am able to make it through with my family, friends, and God.


Thank you Lord for the connections that you have blessed me with. I could not live without relationships.
