*I am so grateful for "Charles". Charles is the name I have given to the British male voice I have chosen on my Garmin (GPS). So often I have sat at home trying to plan my day and crossed things off my possibility list because I didn't think I could find my way there and back. With the assistance of "Charles", I can now go anywhere and even if I still take a wrong turn...well, he just starts ~recalculating~! Thank you Charles!
* After weeks and weeks of snow cover, the thaw happened and lo and behold, I was able to see my grass again. Bonus to the thaw and snow melting, my daffodils and other bulb flowers are beginning to push up. Spring is on the way!
* Monday and Tuesday nights this week was the annual Westminster Dog Show. Watching this 6-hour event has become a tradition that I enjoy so much. So even though my Valentine's Day seems to always be lacking in one area, I always have the dog show to look forward to! :)
* What's better than sunshine? Well, I know lots of things are just as nice, but I received lots of sunshine this week via Mother Nature and also a little sunshine from my friend Jennifer Williams. Jen went on vacation to Florida last week and she brought me back a trinket. A stuffed sunshine with a sweet smiling face that I have sitting in my area at work. It is amazing how one brightly colored and happy item can transform your whole space.
* This past week I purchased a handmade hobo bag from Affordable Bag Designs. Anticipating it's arrival, I tracked it online and was more than pleased when it arrived. The quality of this purse was just fabulous! Having an original purse that is so brightly colored for Spring was the perfect way to get all organized in this area. With the help of three small bags that were gifted to me a few weeks prior, I have a totally cool purse with nothing out of place, no digging or cursing as I search for the phone ringing in the bottom of my purse! Definitely recommend taking a peek on Etsy if you have never visited there before.
* Grateful for a peaceful week at work was a big highlight! Maybe it's the fairy dust I have been sprinkling??? So grateful for that and also for being able to get caught up with everything that had been piled in my to do pile.
* Lastly, I spent Saturday morning doing a little shopping with my sister, Jenn. We visited Hobby Lobby and Home Goods. I could have gone hog wild! There were so many things that I could've purchased even though I didn't need any of it. So many great things in those two stores. That was my first ever trip to Hobby Lobby and second visit to Home Goods. Whenever I plan to redecorate or spruce up any room or corner...these will be my first stops and most likely my last.
Well, that is it for my recap this week. Notable mention, if you haven't tried keeping a list or journal of things during your day/week that you are grateful for, I would highly recommend it. Why? Sometimes we get so bogged down with the things that tick us off or put us in a funk. When you make note of the little things that are nice and you can look back over them, it brings things back in perspective. By finishing up my Saturday's focusing on the positive parts of my past week, the not so good things take a back burner and quite frankly don't play as big of a part as they used to.
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead with many things that you will be thankful for! Thanks for visiting!
