feeling blessed

since so many people asked, these shoes are from forever 21

I didn't even realize I needed a break until I was in the middle of one. I hadn't blogged for over a week before I realized I hadn't blogged for over a week. It wasn't planned. So much has been going on in our household, so many changes, and I couldn't focus properly on everything and before I knew it my blogging was put on the back burner.

But it feels good to be back! I have been making more of an effort to simplify and prioritize my life. Everything from that one junk drawer that always stays a junk drawer to managing the junk drawers in my head. SIMPLIFY has been my mantra the past few months and I can't tell you how amazing it feels to follow through with that. I feel cleaner, not just my apartment, but my mind.

Life just feels so good right now, and I have been really making an effort to soak it all up. I really feel blessed and I am so grateful. I love my job. I get to do what I consider incredibly fun work, and to top it off my co-workers are some of my dearest friends. It is such a great environment to be a part of. Trevor and I are so in sync and it has been great having him around more after being gone all summer. I am so proud of how hard he works and I love watching it pay off for him.

My friends are amazing! I feel like I have built such a community around me of great people that love to be incredibly involved. In one week I could be laughing my head off at dinner with girlfriends, to attending a Miss USA party that came with a crown and everything. Do any of you have a group text going with your friends? THE BEST. Nothing has made me laugh more. I am constantly doing spur of the moment things with my friends and it really does add such a fun dynamic to life. Having so much going on all the time in my social life has been a life saver during this law school experience.

I am just feeling so blessed in every aspect of my life right now and wanted to take the time to be grateful. I know we all have ups and downs in life, and I am just enjoying my current "up." I can't thank God enough for all the many, many blessings. I have really come to this place in life where I am so fulfilled emotionally that I want for absolutely nothing. It is so peaceful and I have never felt quite like this before, but I could sure get used to it.

    I absolutely love this! It is always important to focus on the positives in life and be grateful for everything! Lately I have really been focusing on simplifying things as well and just being a happier person and I think it has made a huge difference in all aspects of my life. I thank God everyday for his blessings!

    I've been having a hard time simplifying my life lately, and it is so easy to get overwhelmed when little things pile up. I'm feeling encouraged now, thanks!

    It's encouraging to read that you're loving life so much right now! Things have been stressful me and this was just the pick-me-up reminder that I needed. I'm reminded of the ups! Enjoy your bliss!

    not a lot of people know this, but i haven't blogged or been on the computer or my phone the past 10 days because i got surgery the day after i got back from NYC. and it's been such a nice little break. granted, i was miserable from recovery, but not having to worry about this little cyber world was refreshing. i think everyone needs a break once in a while...

    and i'm so happy to hear that you are in a great place, girl! taking a moment and acknowledging that is super important, i think. it's the little things, right?

    xo,
