Friendship. It was so refreshing to get to spend time with John and Lisa this past weekend. Finding community in others who can share in your trials and go through life with you is such an incredible blessing! Not to mention getting to watch "El Bachelor" with another lady this week was just what I needed in my life. I appreciate my hubby's effort when he watches with me (and realize I am lucky that my husband will tolerate the show) but no matter how hard boys try they just can't truly appreciate all the The Bachelor has to offer. Disclaimer: The boys spent the whole time making fun of Juan Pablo's accent...specifically his difficulties with the word pajamas.

Coffee. Two words can sum up January in Michigan: cold and cloudy. After the holidays I would gladly welcome spring with open arms but sadly I know I have at least two more months of snow and winter coats. That being said I turn to coffee for a warm pick me up daily and it brings some warmth and energy back into my soul. Having my cup of coffee (or two) is my favorite way to start the day. I take a couple minutes to breath and enjoy all the warmth and goodness the little cup of caffeine has to offer.
Doggie Cuddles. Milton was crazy tired this week after a long weekend at doggie daycare. Just like his mama, Milton gets very pathetic and needy when he is sleepy. But lucky for me this means all he wants to do is lay right by my side and sleep. I gladly welcome his doggie cuddles and appreciate his body heat to keep me warm. Aren't dogs just the best? I don't have kids yet so it's okay to say that :)

My best friend and hubby. I have a rock star husband! He works so hard everyday to provide for our family and is the greatest support system I could ever have. He recently started grad school so now I have to share his free him with studying and homework, but I don't mind because he is such a cute little nerd. But seriously, his work ethic is phenomenal and I am so grateful for his desire and ambition to further his education.
Books. I recently finished Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg and it was an eye-opening read. At the beginning I was worried it was going to be overpowered with a bit too much feminism but in fact it simply just redefined my definition of the word. I plan on doing a more in depth book review soon because I learned so many things from reading it. But in the meantime all of you corporate world ladies out there should pick up a copy for yourself!

Love your grateful heart and sweet words. And that we both wrote about our excitement of watching Bachelor with a girl this week! HA! It's the little things :) Great minds.... ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend, lovely! xx
I have heard so many good things about Lean In! I can't wait to read more of an in-depth review! Found you on the blog hop, new follower here!
ReplyDeleteYou mean the boys thought it was funny when Juaney said Peejamas?! haha! Boys are all the same! My hubby said the same thing - I think I need a girlfriend to watch it with too! haha! I also love the fact that we can feel each others pain through these brutally cold winter days! Most of my bloggy friends are in the south so it's hard when they say it's 20 degrees and we are all up here with -20! ha! Cheer's to another coffee, love!
ReplyDeleteIsn't life SO much better when we take time to be grateful?! I love this post!! Hope you have a great, kind-of-warm weekend! :)
