With A Grateful Heart
I got the sweetest comment on Instagram today and it really stopped me in my tracks! It said: βBeen following you due to my mini mid life crisis and you have made me embrace style and grace again and life rocks! Thank you thank you! You are stunning and such an inspiration!β
I have to sayβ¦that comment is what itβs all about for me. There are times when I think that no one wants to see another picture of me and then I regroup, do something a little different and try to come back with more creativity! I love to put outfits together and cook and decorate, but what I love most is knowing that someone is encouraged by what Iβm doing. Iβm sincerely trying to get up every day and make the most of my life. Iβm following my passion with blogging and itβs pretty amazing! Some of the circumstances of my life over the past 4 years have certainly not encouraged happiness or passion or much of anything else, but those circumstances were outside of me and what counts is whatβs inside of me! There have also been many amazing times as I was going through difficult times and I will always get up and keep living and doing and trying to make the most of my life even on the days when itβs hard. The truth is, that the more you get up when itβs hard, the easier it is to get up! Absolutely everything you need is insideβ¦itβs just about bringing it back to life.
As Iβve said before, midlife can be such a difficult time. Itβs almost sometimes like weβve been left behind as women and it can feel that our best days are behind us, but I really donβt believe that is true! I believe that our best days are ahead! Itβs this time in life when we become free to explore ideas and focus on the things that make our hearts sing. We can indulge passions, explore and be curious. Some daysβ¦like today, for me - life just hands you a gift and you never know what form it will come in but itβs important to be paying attention!
I want to sincerely thank everyone who reads my blog every day, and all of you who have supported me through ups and downs and thick and thin! I have so much to be thankful for! Thank you thank you!
