What an exciting month! Am I right? It's everyone's favorite. We just adore the unpredictable bleak weather, the increasing difficulty of school, and the emotionally charged Valentine's Day.
Yeah, no. I have to see February as a month of growth. It seems that life is either boring and you feel without direction, or all of the challenges you could imagine pile on. Which is better? I think both are about equally uncomfortable, but at least with challenges I have opportunities to expand my character.
One attribute to focus on is gratitude. I really do believe gratitude is synonymous with happiness. I have a new goal (not a very original one) to start a gratitude journal. I journal my life anyway, but I think starting my day with a perspective seeking gratitude will help me avoid the tethers of entitlement and escape the habit of taking things for granted. I may or may not post entries on here. Sometimes it's a good feeling for your gratitude to be out in the universe.
The one thing I want to say I'm grateful for at this moment is my sweet little nieces that I was privileged to see for a bit this weekend. Harper is holding Gammy's hand and looks up at me, waves, and says, "Hi, Manny." Just a little recognition out of nowhere means a lot. I'm so excited to be an aunt to those two little girls who are bursting at the seams with personality. I adore Harper and Ivy. That's what I'm grateful for at this moment.
