#mondaygrats

Dolphin cruise in Perdido, w/crazy Charlee

• A God who knows how many grains of sand are on the beach I spent the weekend laying on.
• Baby laughs, snuggles, "I love yous", & lunging into your arms. And friends who let you hog their kids.
• Being married to a man who makes me want to leave the glory of the beach to get back to him. Serious butterflies over here about seeing hims tonight.
• A best friend who doesn't look at you like you're nuts when you're balling your eyes out, over something trivial, out of no where. And is just generally awesome.
• The-best-friend-who-lives-in-Haiti comes back this month. And hub's birthday is this month. As well as my mama's. So many things to celebrate!
• A 4 day work week.

#mondaygrats

I talked about gratitudes before, but I can't find that post at the moment. And let's be honest, I don't feel like digging for it. So, recap: the #gratitudes hashtag came to be a few years ago when a woman from my church (whom I love dearly) started using it to share the things she was grateful for. It caught on and soon became a way to bring light to the social media world and to remind others that there's always something to be thankful for.

Therefore, it is with this in mind that I bring #mondaygrats to the blogging world. I mean, what a way to start your week, amiright? A tangible list of the blessings in your life when all you want to do is groan and complain about it being Monday again (right there with you). Plus, how cool to be able to look back (that is why we blog, right?) years from now and see how our blessings change and stay the same.

• The three days J was gone were surprisingly refreshing? I missed him like cray-zee, but I'd be lying if I said sleeping in our king bed alone wasn't kind of glorious.
• That being said, having husband home. Life's just not the same without your best friend.
• Circle E's Hawaiian Pineapple candle. So good.
• Therapeutic venting sessions, and the friends that will listen to them.
• A job that I don't dread going to when the weekend is over.

I hope your week starts off fab. And I hope that you make a gratitudes list, even if you don't blog it :) But if you do, feel free to grab that graphic up theres!
