Thankful Thursdays

 

Thankful Thursdays

Last week I decided I was going to make a conscious effort to be more thankful (see this post) and I am happy to say I am continuing on this week and posting what I am thankful for.  I’d love for you to join me!  Let me know in the comments what you are thankful for or if you make your own post!

I went to Oregon for a wedding last weekend.  It was a state I had never been to (yay!) and it was absolutely beautiful.  Also, it was a nice change from the warm, hot weather of south Texas.  I am thankful for the opportunity to travel.

Need a little sparkle?

Want something quick to make that can make someone smile?  I purchased matchboxes from Curly Girl Designs (love her stuff!) a while back and hadn’t done anything with them.  Then I saw these glitter pills on tumblr one day and figured I had to make them!  I also had empty pill capsules that I use for supplements sometimes and filled them with glitter.  I put them in the matchbox and check what an adorable gift this is….

My Personal Commandments

I apologize the picture isn’t the best. I could not get a good picture of it because of the glass

———–

So I am reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and in it she mentions writing Personal Commandments, almost like the rules for life. (I highly recommend the book if you are looking for something to read:)

Well I had this awesome white, shabby chic frame I had purchased @ Goodwill for $5 and had been wanting to spray paint robin’s egg blue (love this color!). So I decided to write all of my personal commandments and hang it up in my room to remind me. Especially since life is kind of tough right now. I’m just trucking through relying on God for His plan and knowing that He is in control.

So I came up with these ones (in no particular order. They just fit better this way):

  • Be Happy
  • Laugh Daily
  • This too Shall Pass (you can’t read this one but it is in green next to laugh daily)
  • Play often
  • Trust God
  • Wait
  • Create
  • Spread Joy
  • Love Much
  • Let it Go
  • Be Thankful

Just in case you were wondering…. I also have “Be jealous of no one,” “Remember the small things,” “To worry is to not trust God,” “Take time to pray,” “Do what I enjoy & enjoy what I do,” and “Overthinking is not useful thinking. I just ran out of space to put them on my board. :)

I made the board using lots of paper and my Silhouette. We are always on a love/hate relationship but this week we are friends.
