7 for Seven

Hello loves! October is winding down so fast and I cannot believe that we only have two months left in 2014. But it’s Monday so attention must be paid to all the goodness of the last week.

…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 here are my short and sweet 7 positives for this week:

Slow Cooker success. Finally! I successfully made a tasty, homey, put-my-foot-in-it-even-if-I-do-say-so-myself beef stew with my slow cooker and I have never been prouder. I was so proud I made sure to share with my sis and she concurred. It was really yummy.

Solo Movie Night. I love my own company. And sometimes you just want to take yourself to a movie, laugh a little or a lot depending on your mood, eat some cinnabon mini rolls sans judgement and then take yourself home. Done. Done and Done.

Raspberry Chocolate Truffle Coffee. This is my absolute favourite K-cup and I got me a batch from one of the kindest persons I know…to sip and savour to my heart’s content.

Holidays in the middle of the work week. three words: Bring them on!

Letting go in love. It is amazing when you realize that you can let go and you can still love. Sometimes we think that the only way to move on/forward to is to erase the Love. But Love is Love, whether it stays or leaves. And if it leaves that does not make it any less meaningful. I am grateful to have had the experience of loving and being loved in return.

My Cohort of Awesome! I am so proud of my girl IPVirgo for completing a half marathon in 2 and half hours! So inspirational and it is beyond awesome that I get to live vicariously through her.

Rainy Sundays. Sundays are already lazy days…when you add rain to the equation you get a whole day spent in bed getting hooked on Once Upon A Time. I would just like to say that “Another Episode loading in 9…8…7…6” is the devil!

My hope is that by turning my focus to all that I have to be grateful for at the start of my work week, by sowing my own seeds of faith and gratitude, I can carry with me and reap the rewards of “positivity + balance + bliss” throughout the days ahead.

If you’re reading this, 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. What made you happy today? What are you grateful for? I would love to hear from you.
