7 for SEVEN

Hello Loves! It’s been hot and hectic for the last few days. But here in the this space on a Monday…the show must go on.

…every Monday, we post seven positives from the previous seven days of the week as a reminder of what we have so that the week starts out on an upswing. There is much truth in the belief that happy people attract good things, so it is important to start the week out right. Sometimes it’s the more grand, but other times, it’s the simple things.~ Key + Arrow

7 for Seven originated at Key + Arrow and I have adopted the practice and it has really changed my life in positive ways. My 7 this week is all about the little things, I sometimes take for granted and one HUGE thing I am super grateful for:

Kindness from a stranger. A HUGE thank you to the very kind cashier at the grocery this weekend, who saved me from a really embarrassing situation involving $5.00 Saying I was grateful is putting it mildly. Note to self: Must pay it forward.

Air-conditioning. Because I live on an island in the blazing hot sun.

Waking up before my alarm. Somehow, it feels like I have a few extra minutes of snuggling deeper under the covers.

Good coffee. There is no simpler pleasure.

Your Order Has Been Shipped. Best. Email. Ever.

My brother and sister. So much is happening right now is our lives but the love and support never wavers. I am blessed to have these two people in my life.

Love. Whenever, I start to feel like there is a lack…I am reminded of just how blessed I truly am.

3.5 pull-ups. Soooo when I started my new training program at the gym, I could only do 2 pull-ups unassisted. After 6 weeks of training my arms which sometimes feel like they have all the strength of TRex arms…I am up to 3.5 pull-ups. Now I wanted to round this up to 4 eh…but that would be cheating and I worked damn hard for that 1.5. My goal is to do 5 unassisted. So baby steps.

Coming home to a made bed. This little habit has improved my life so much. Sometimes it really is the little things that make you happy.

I hope that by continuing to pay attention to these little things, the mundane details that make up all the blessings in my life and by sowing the seeds of faith and gratitude, I can truly carry with me and reap the rewards of “positivity + balance + bliss” throughout the day and well into the week ahead.

Thank you for reading, I appreciate you! This is me blowing some glitter and confetti on you because you’re super blessed to have received the gift of another 86,400 seconds today, to spend any way you desire.

Make those seconds count!

I love hearing from you…what are you grateful today? What made you smile? Feel free to share below!
