Friday Bliss List!

CrownGood evening!

I am a big believer in living every moment of your life with an attitude of gratitude, which is why I LOVE Bliss List Friday!! That is the day that I take a moment to reflect over all of the awesome things, and little things, and all the things in between that make life BLISSFUL that have happened during my week!!!

Tonight is going to be a short and sweet post! It has been a very long week and my sweetie and I are heading out to go watch a play this evening with family!! 😉 Before I head out the door I want to make sure I share my Bliss List with you this evening! 😉

  1. I am so thankful that when I was just beat from a very long day with very little sleep, my sweetie surprised me by taking me out to dinner so that neither of us would have to cook.
  2. Earlier in the week I had the opportunity to listen to an interview between Jeanne Oliver and Melody Ross, and I was so blessed to hear Melody talk about how she is usually a wreck, is emotional, an empath so she takes a lot on emotionally, and has to isolate herself a lot! I had NEVER heard anyone say those things about themselves except me. Hearing her say it made me feel so “OK”, and I really REALLY NEEDED THAT!! 😉
  3. I am thankful that I have such a large amount of This Artsy Life hits and feedback this week – that is so encouraging! I know that I am heading in the right direction, I just need to stay persistent and focused on my purpose!! My dream career will happen!! 😉
  4. I am thankful that not only have a found a 6-week community art class to participate in, my day-job boss has agreed to let me work half days every Wednesday so that I may take this class!! YEAH!!! 😉
  5. I am thankful that even though I have been struggling creatively (I seem to be struggling to find my style again!), I have been putting it out there anyway!
  6. I get to go hang out with my sweetie, sis-in-law, and niece this evening to go watch a play!
  7. Have you ever smelled Bath and Body Works’ Warm Vanilla Sugar body cream?? It is DIVINE!!! 😉
  8. My sister’s family is coming up to visit for the week this Sunday, which I am very excited about! 😉
  9. I am so thankful to get to sleep with the warmest, fussiest, cuddliest red and white striped socks when my feet are freezing!! It sometimes really is the little things that bring the biggest bliss!! 😉
  10. And finally, this afternoon I stumbled upon a gentleman whose message really resonated with me, his name is Simon Sinek:

I hope you all have had a LOVELY week, filled with many Bliss List items of your own, and I KNOW that many more Bliss List items heading your way, just keep your eyes on the lookout for them!! 😉

Here is to a FABULOUSLY ARTSY evening! 😉

Bliss List Friday

Good morning!!

“We seldom think of what we have but always of what we lack.”
–Schopenhauer

This was one of the inspirational quotes that floated across my desk today, and I felt this was fitting seeing that today is Bliss List Friday!

I firmly believe that happiness is based on focusing your energies on all that you have and not on what you don’t have. That is my motivation for Bliss List Friday; I want to share with you all that I am thankful this week, those things that bring me ultimate bliss; a reminder to myself that life is good and I am blessed. In turn I hope that this weekly list inspires you to focus on all that is good in your life.

Here is my Bliss List, in no particular order:

  1. Singing at the top of my lungs in the car while driving myself to work!
  2. Having a FABULOUS husband who makes me feel loved every single day!
  3. Enjoying the warmth of my morning oatmeal in the middle of a sometimes hectic morning!
  4. My sissy, Alex! She one of my best cheerleader, and sometimes you just need someone by your side who believes in you more than you believe in yourself!
  5. Getting to have an Auntie Night with my niece, Megan! I just ADORE this little girl!!
  6. Having my own space to create and make a big mess while arting my evening away! I know I am such a lucky girl!
  7. Have a great book with which I can fall into reading! I am such a sucker for a rich story!!
  8. Being able to hear the stories of other artists, namely Marisa Ann Cummings, from Creative Thursdays!
  9. Dancing like a crazy person, when no one is watching!!!
  10. Getting that wild, zany, blasted art room completely organized from top-to-bottom! Aaaaaah!! My spirit really, REALLY needed that!!

What would have on your Bliss List? I would love to hear in the comments section!

Here is to a FABULOUS day!
