Monday Moments Of Me #208

Happy Monday!!!!!!!!!!
Even though the temps here in AZ are reaching 100 degrees I am......GRATEful.

Reason:

 My mom.... she made me this vintage mini grater with the be grateful quote and hung the cute little "M" charm on it for me :)
I then put it on my desk and put the air plant in it! I love seeing this everyday.
My mom is so creative, determined, driven, thoughtful, loving, understanding and best of all....MINE!
As Mother's Day approaches my thoughts are extra centered on all the women in my life past and present and how grateful I am for each of them.

Monday Moments Of Me #207

Have you ever seen something so ugly its cute?!

I love my little Miss Gnome. I found her and fell in love with her while at the The Highland Yard Market in Chandler, AZ back in February.
I always find something unique there :) It is a fun place to shop.

Monday Moments Of Me #204

Alright Friends, I have thought about this a lot the last month and I have decided to trim down the Monday Moments Of Me from weekly to once a month....

This will allow me to focus more on my word of the year CARE which was blogged about previously. (click on care to read about it)

I know... I know... you are all saddened LOL.


Today I am grateful for the change of seasons. Literally. Weather wise and personal life wise.
This year more than the past few it seems we here in AZ have had more overcast, rainy and dark days than normal. I have loved it. The change has been good for the soul :)

With this photo I am reminded that every stage of life is beautiful. Never to be taken for granted. To appreciate every moment, every second, every change good or bad.
