Love the Life you Live, Live the Life you Love. As silly as this sounds, I just found this saying to include here on the website and it made me realize I need to follow this saying.
I dream about the future all the time. About the career I want to have, about the house I want, about the dog I want, about the kids I want. These are all wonderful things for which to dream. But what about today? What about this afternoon, the lunch I will share with Marc? Will I enjoy that time, or will I just rush through it to get to my practice wedding hair appointment?
We currently live in 530 sqft, with no bedroom door and two crazy cats. It is a small, but wonderful studio in the heart of Portland, Oregon. We love the location and especially the western, sunset views. Pink is our favorite nighttime color, as the sun sets behind city high-rise buildings and the coastal mountains. But I do complain about the lack of storage space, and the lack of privacy, and the lack of good sleeping that occurs due to our wild cat Puma who lives for and loves 4:30 am!
I am living a wonderfully privileged life, and although there are aspects I love, I don't always show my gratitude for those, instead I complain about those things which I don't love. Maybe today needs to be the day to start seeing this saying every time I log onto my blog and remember to be grateful for my blessings today, and to not worry so much about my future blessings.
I do love the life I am living, the life of Mrs. Wife.

ReplyDelete@ Jodie - Thank you for enjoying the positive attitude I'm trying to reflect here. I just think there is too much negativity in daily life and I am trying to bring that inward positivity outward.
ReplyDelete@ Susan - You can customize you page by doing to your dashboard or the customize section. Go to page elements at the top you can add html script. This was easily copied and pasted from the shabbyblogs website. Hope that helps you get your blog looking pretty/ sassy/ or edgy :)
