{the thoughtful & loving D, who surprised me with this amazing belated birthday gift}
“Pray more than you complain” is a sentiment that has been running through my head constantly for the past week: in the midst of rainy weather and a busy schedule, I’ve realized that there has been a serious need of an perspective check. It seems as though I am always telling myself to be more thankful, but as cliche as it sounds: simply counting and making note of the small things (no matter how seemingly trivial) can often be enough to turn an attitude around.

Love the photos, the new Celine , and the new shoes Jen!
LOVE this post – both the indulgent pleasures (that dress!!!) as well as the heartfelt words… completely feel this way myself. i need to stop with the asking and be more generous with the thanking… i have been blessed with so much, it’s time to be less selfish and more grateful!
oh my! what a wonderful/beautiful gift ..
it’s always good to take the time to
be thankful.

I drooled when I saw your Celine wallet on Instagram. What a great guy you have! And I was totally tricked by those Joe Fresh heels, they look like Louboutins! Glad you were able to take the time to appreciate the small things. It’s always easy to complain but listing out what you’re grateful for always puts things in a more positive light 🙂
