I love that you are...Thank you so much for sharing! I love that you are choosing to celebrate the small moments. So many times we only see the big highlights, but that's not where life is lived. <br /><br />Good luck sending out that thank you and keep celebrating!Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163873580699797790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520530282862440438.post-54704578798375127342016-02-09T07:50:20.979-05:002016-02-09T07:50:20.979-05:00I've read several of your blogs and have gathe...I've read several of your blogs and have gathered we're within a few years of age. I also graduated college a few years ago and have the friends buying houses and having babies (like you, I only have a fur baby). It seems like each new year brings new goals. Try to get a better job, try to do something new, try a new craft, etc. Years always start out as "tries." I think this is good as we should always try to better ourselves and live life to the fullest but your blog made me realize something about all the trying: there's not enough simple celebrating. When I graduated, there was a moment of "yes, made it" but the view quickly shifted to finding a job. Once I found a job there was a quick moment of "sweet, not living with my parents." Those feelings of victories are so quickly dissolved and forgotten though. This marks one decade since I graduated high school so my word for the year will be celebrate. Celebrate and remember all the little goals that have been accomplished and try to put things in perspective of just how much worse it could be. I'm hoping this internal celebrating will lead to a more thankful and appreciated outlook and cause less worrying. Each night I think of the things I'm thankful for. Just a few moments, nothing long. And they don't need to be unique. I've been hung up on one thought for the past week but that just shows me I'm really thankful for that one. I found they usually revolve around people that are close to me. I haven't been brve enough yet but eventually I'll want to send a short thank you message to whoever entered my mental thankful period that night. As always, thanks for sharing and continue to move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
