Gratitude – Day 7

Day 7: #30daysofgratitude – “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” – Maya Angelou πŸ–€

Life can be hard. But life is a choice – you can sit and throw a fit about how unfair things are, and there are times that no one would blame you, because they can see you’ve been dealt a bad hand. But life doesn’t care if you pout, it’ll keep rolling on without you. So, it’s best to learn how to roll with it, hard times and all.

And life is what you make it, and what you look for. So, I choose to embrace the weird and the silly. To make my own fun, and to try not to take things too serious. (Because seriousness creeps in on it’s own much too easy.)
Which is why decorating for Christmas makes me happy. Jamming out to Christmas music in my silly Christmas sweaters. Putting up my 3ft light-up Christmas llama that’s meant for outdoor decor but lives atop my bookshelf. Baking cookies and making crafts.
I’m grateful today for an ability to do more than survive the hard times, but to thrive in spite of them. The ability to throw glitter in the face of adversity because around here, we’re festive as a MOTHER. πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ„
