Grateful Wednesday

1. quotes.

I know this sounds cheesy that I am grateful for other people's words - but its true. Sometimes I find hope strength courage and most importantly God in other peoples words.

"Do anything you can do to keep your mind off yourself. Purposefully be a blessing to someone else today"

2. hot pink nail polish.

Yep, we painted our nails for the bachelorette party this past weekend and well frankly I forgot how much I love fluorescent pink color.

  

 (I realize I need a touch up job but give me a break - forever 21 nail polish that has lasted 5 days...I think that's stellar if I do say so myself!)

 

3. reading.

I have those days when I come home I don't feel like talking thinking or moving...so last night I spent the evening reading. It was wonderful to escape the real world.

"'A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies,' ... 'The man who never reads lives only one.'"

-- George R.R. Martin

I think reading is my new hobby :)

4. blogs.

Like this one

and this one

and for sure this one

 these three women share their lives, up AND downs, it is refreshing and invigorating.

5. yeah...

I know this is grateful Wednesday and I am supposed to list things that I am grateful of - so here ya have it - I am grateful that I don't have to wear silver strappy shoes on a normal basis - I'm just sayin there is not a single pair out there that does scream YUCK!!! alright I had to get that off my chest...so grateful as I am that I only have to wear them for a couple of hours for a handful of days over the next six months! I more so think this is just because I'm not a fan - not that there aren't cute ones out there, there are, I mean, prada and gucci even make them, just NOT my thing people, not my THING.

So to redeem myself from my only boring picture today (and it was of my chipped nails at that)

Here is a little pic of something I miss...I can't wait until it cools down just a bit
