Stop lying to yourself. – You can lie to anyone else in the world, but you can’t lie to yourself. Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult chance we can take is to be honest with ourselves.

Appreciate Thursday
Stop running from your problems. – Face them head on. No, it won’t be easy. There is no person in the world capable of flawlessly handling every punch thrown at them. We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become.

so, its been a long while between "appreciate" posts. i am determined to get better at this whole blogging thing. i keep trying to remind myself that i can use this as a way to air my thoughts for the day. so here goes...
1. girlfriends- i have quite a small "inner circle" of girlfriends. i know that i can call them at the drop of a hat and they will be there for me, no questions asked. i appreciate each and every girlfriend in my life and love them equally, for all their differences and all our similarities.
2. being employed- simply, it allows me to live a comfortable life. this is a major "appreciate" thumbs up.
3. stopping to smell the roses- sometimes just taking a minute out the day to debrief and think a good thought makes the day a little better :)
4. hot cross buns- i know its early for Easter chatter, but hot cross buns a 'any time' snack for me.
5. glitter nail polish- on a completely different level, glitter makes my nail polish twinkle as it catched the light and lifts any normal mani to another level of cool.
Who or what are you guys appreciating today?

quite a self explanatory post that i would like to start including on a regular basis.
working in the industry that i do, i have come across many a sad story and situation. it kind of makes me think to myself- what am i grateful for? what more can i do to be a better version of myself? how can i show appreciation for the good things and people that i have in my life? which brings us to the first "appreciation" post.
1. the boy. he continues to show me how to be better. and cooks for me. come on!
2. mothers. specifically the many mothers i have in my life. i have caught a small glimpse into what being a mum is like, the sacrifices that are made, the lack of sleep and the awe- inspiring love that comes with being a mum. i love the relationship that i have with my mum. we talk about everything and even though sometimes i feel like im the "mum", she still is most definately one the bravest, most selfless woman i have ever known.
3.time out from everyday life. recently went away for a mini break from reality and loved it. it was much needed and i came back refreshed, and in the right frame of mind. even the drive there and back was relaxing, being able to spend a solid few hours leaving the bills and work and responsibilities behind. just spending time away.
4. summer. i miss summer when its gone so much. i love the feel of the sun on my skin, soaking up the vitamin d and trying to get abit of colour happening (safely ofcourse). summer is like a giant hug for me, filled with exotic fruits, cocktails and sunscreen.
5. coffee. its more than a morning drink. its the way i wake up and get myself prepped for the day.usually previously i would have 2 or 3 coffee's a day but as i am being "healthy" and "aware" of what i eat and drink, i have reduced myself to a lowly ONE COFFEE A DAY. there are times i question my sanity but beauty is pain right?
