Thankful Thursday – Are you Really?

thankful for you Hello friends,

today is Thankful Thursday which has me thinking, what am I truly thankful for?   I know I always end my post with, “I am thankful for my family, my friends and of course my faith” but really is that all?

How about you, what are you REALLY thankful for?

Being Thankful

Sending text messages and emails are fine, but do you have someone that you can pick up the phone and call for a friendly and fun conversation?

Be thankful for that.

Do you live in a house, apartment or condo and when you come home there is someone there to greet you or meet you later in the day?

Be thankful for that.

 Do you drive or commute to work oftentimes doing the same boring task over and over again, yet you get paid to do so?

Be thankful for that.

Do you go to the grocery store, gas station or mall, spending way too much money on items, but in your wallet there is cash, a debit or credit card to pay for it?

Be thankful for that.

Does your kids or grandkids make you laugh and sometimes cry?

Be thankful for that.

Does sunshine on your face feel good and rain on a Sunday morning lull you back to sleep?

Be thankful for that.

Does a good workout, a few pounds lost or looking good in your favorite outfit make you smile?

Be thankful for that.

Oprah's Thankful Quote

I woke up this morning in my right mind, a healthy body and a good spirit so for that I am truly thankful.

Now it’s your turn, what are you really THANKFUL for?  

Stay Blessed ~ No Stress in 2014!

Hello Friends and Happy New Year’s Eve!

As we close out the year 2013, I would like to take this time to say, “Thank You” to all my wonderful bloggy friends and followers.

A Blog is defined as:

  1. “a personal website or web page on which an individual records opinions, links to other sites, etc. on a regular basis.”

Yet it is so much more, a blog becomes part of you, a special part of your life an extension of your personality.  If done in the right spirit it can fill you with added joy and happiness.

Each of you in your own unique way has definitely added more joy and happiness to my life.  When you take the time to read and comment on my posts, write your own uplifting and informational posts – take beautiful photographs and fashionable attire, you open your home and hearts to others…and all of this makes my life brighter.

Thank you D-Anna at Style Salvation, a fashionista diva for nominating me for a “Best Moment” award and thank you Clouds n Cups, jewelry designers extraordinaire for the “Blog of The Year 2013” award nomination!

Vlogger of the Week

Hello friends, I hope your day was productive and stress free but if not, have I got a Vlogger for you!

Cook E doeFace Place

Cook E doeFace  is my “play cousin” from Philly, she reminds me so much of my real cousins in New York, like them she makes me laugh and brightens my day.  If I have a rough day I’ll log onto YouTube and watch her make a meal or cocktail, my favorite is “Thank You Lawd“, reminds me of the “I Love Lucy”  VitaVetaVegamin episode.  With so much hatred and negativity in today’s world, it’s nice to have an escape, a place to go if only for a few minutes to kick back, relax and enjoy.  So if you need some funny in your life, check out my “cuz”, I guarantee she will make you smile!

 

 

“Cook E doeFace Place is a relaxing place where you can get great, easy to make recipes, for novice all the way to the pros.”

Sit back, relax and enjoy the show – Smooches!
