Optimistic Monday

December 17, 2012

I first want to say that I am devastated at the event in Newtown, Connecticut last Friday.  It is tragic.  There are no words for this type of situation.  My thoughts and prayers are with all of the families affected.  One can not even begin to imagine what they are going through.

Optimistic Monday
Goals for last week:
1.  Finish Christmas shopping.
I am mostly done.  Does that count?
2.  Walk more than 2 times this week.
The only walking I did was at the malls when shopping.
3.  Do a few craft projects.
Not really…  I had good intentions though!
4.  Mail gifts to relatives so they get them before Christmas.
Yes, I did get all of those completed.
5.  Read my book on grieving.
I’ve had a bit of a hard time with my mom’s passing and did read some of my book.  It definitely helps to organize my thoughts and know that everything I’m going through is normal (whatever that is).
6.  Mail out those Christmas cards that should be arriving before the end of the week.
Yes, I got my cards mailed out.  However, I forgot to put the return address labels on them.  Oh well, I think they will get where they’re going just fine.
7.  Continue to work on my Give A Smile Today project.
Doing my best here.  We have lots of senders but not very many receivers.  We all know that they are out there so if you know someone who would benefit from receiving lots of cheerful cards please visit my site www.GiveASmileToday.com.

Goals for this week:
I’m going easy on myself this week.  It will be a busy crazy one.

1.  I just want to try to eat right, exercise and get ready for the holidays.
2.  Blog a little.
3.  Complete some of my obligations that I’ve committed to.
4.  Have some fun!
Boy do I need some fun in my life right now…

Have a GREAT week!

There’s something about a soft shade of pink and a touch of sparkle that feels effortlessly elegant. Add crystal-embellished heels, and suddenly an ordinary moment feels a little more special.

I’ve reached the stage of life where I wear the pretty outfit, the special shoes, and my favorite lipstick—no waiting required. 💕

What’s one thing in your closet you should be wearing more often?😎

That’s what Wantable is all about. This was my recent box of Spring Bestsellers that I finally had a chance to try on. It’s always fun to mix and match to make a few outfits.

No subscription required. Use my link to order your first box and get $25 off. You just may love it and will want to order more boxes in the future. I’m addicted!

They have some really fun themes to choose from right now, including one for men (fun for Father’s Day). My next box is called The Coastal Edit.🦞

Happy new week! This palm leaf shirtdress is givin Happy new week! This palm leaf shirtdress is giving instant beach vacation vibes to my day. 

💖Comment for LINKS with sizing details.⬅️

It’s a bit heavier weight than the striped gauze shirtdress that I recently shared because it’s a rayon and cotton blend. It’s currently on sale (today) for a great deal and includes free shipping!🎉

It’s an all around versatile style dress that’s perfect for lunch, dinner, church, vacation, work and more.

This dress was gifted to me in partnership with @lovechicos

A smile won’t solve every problem, but it can chan A smile won’t solve every problem, but it can change the way we walk through them. 💜

I’ve always been an optimistic, smile-first kind of person. Not because life is perfect, but because I’ve learned that joy is often a choice we make in the middle of the messy, ordinary, beautiful moments.

Today, I’m choosing gratitude, fresh air and a pretty dress.💜

What’s something that’s making you smile lately? I’d love to hear it. 😊
