365 Grateful: Days 71-75?

So, how about I don’t know what day I’m on. This weekend has been hectic but, I’m grateful for the busyness.

Thursday, I had a photoshoot. I was inspired by roses (June’s flower) and Frida Kahlo. Hence, this awesomeness!

I almost cried when I saw the pictures. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to see my vision come to fruition. (P.S. Video tutorial coming Thursday!)

Friday, I worked to get ready for a show on Saturday. I was thankful for my creativity and work ethic.

Saturday was the show. I am thankful that I met some amazing people and it’s a natural high when people praise your work.

Yesterday, I looked in my closet and a part of me that I thought was gone, reared her head. Next thing you know, this outfit made itself known.

Then, I worked out with some buddies.

AND I enjoyed this on the way home:

Today, I’m back in the shop again. I have a headache now but, I’m grateful that I have work to be done. Thank God!

365 Grateful: Day 70

Man… today was eventful. I’m grateful that I got to do some things for myself.

A little shopping…

Some yoga…

And this henna tattoo… even though I think it looks like a penis. Hey, I’m just saying.

I’m also grateful for life because right before my yoga class, there was a terrible accident that came a couple feet from my car.

I’m standing right by my car here.

The car pictured flipped in the air and came down on the driver’s side. The other car involved did a 180 and hit a tree. Two people were involved. One is okay the other I assumed went to the hospital. Please pray for him.

Almost two hours later, they are still trying to get this car out of the ditch.

I just pray the other guy is ok.

365 Grateful: Day 69

I’m not sure what to photograph today because of the following:

1. I’m grateful that I pretty much stuck to my schedule but, I can’t screenshot it because it’s personal.

2. I’m grateful that I was able to be there for my friend today but, I did it over the phone so, no pic there.

3. I’m grateful that I got this AWESOME idea today but, it’s in my head. Yeah, hard to photograph that. Just imagine greatness. Yes, that’s it!

4. I’m grateful that I found this app that is essentially a digital project board. Let me know if you guys want more info on that.

5. I’m just grateful, man. Just grateful.

What are y’all grateful for today? Huh? Huh? Huh?

365 Grateful: Day 68

Whew! Today, I was determined to be grateful. I had a few bumps but, that is to be expected.

Today, I am grateful because:
1. This turtle allowed me to save it’s life (kinda). Well, I saved it’s life and it kinda let me.

2. I worked on some earrings for a show this weekend.

3. I saw a rainbow.

Yup…a three-fer. You’re welcome!

365 Grateful: Day 67

So, today I did nothing. Well, I washed clothes and did dishes which basically is nothing. I meant to do nothing and for that, I’m grateful. Since I did nothing, there was nothing to photograph.

Well, there was this embarrassing pic I sent to my son to tell him, “Good night.” Do you think he liked it?

365 Greatest: Day 66

Today, I’m grateful for Calgon moments. You know those moments when you just get out of dodge? Yeah, those moments.

We hit the road for Nashville and had a ball. Thank you, Lord for friends that have my 6, time to myself, and life.

Check out that photo bomb! Nice, right?

365 Grateful: Day 65

Yes! I made it…11:35 pm and counting.

Anywho, today, I’m grateful for this chic right here:

And her cake!

Both are truly anointed. Great times…

365 Grateful: Day 64

Today, I’m grateful for stuff to do. I was able to do something I’m excited about learning… graphic design.

I was also able to jump around at Shakalaka. I fell twice but, this sign made up for it.

365 Grateful: Days 61, 62 & 63

So… Monday, I was grateful for food….a bunch of food. And this banana pudding…

… which gave me my entire life! (Picture taken from my friend, Natasha’s Facebook page.)

Yesterday, I was grateful for routine. Sometimes, we take that for granted. No picture needed here.

Today, I’m grateful that I don’t let problems defeat me. My son broke the lawn mower a week ago and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with it. This afternoon, I went into the garage determined to figure it out. Needless to say, the lawn mower is fixed. Now, if only this rain would stop so we can cut the grass.

365 Grateful: Day 59 & 60

Yesterday, I danced for the first time in over a year. Going forth had become to painful to me but, I was intentional about dancing in spite of. I’m glad I did. I feel better because of it.

(I stole this pic from my friend Michael Green’s Facebook page. I’m on the left.)

Today, I again went outside my comfort zone and went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival here. Although we didn’t see or ride in the balloons as we’d hoped, we enjoyed festival food, spoke to some amazing local artists and enjoyed being hippies for the day. Meet my friend, Britney.
