Lately I have been struggling with discontent (and I am working on a post exploring more about that and what God has been teaching me about that), but I have found that one of the most effective ways to combat discontent is to develop gratefulness- in the big and small things. So here are some things that I am grateful for this week!
A snuggly friend when nights get cold
pumpkin pancakes that still taste awesome even when they're not pretty.
(baking mix+ pumpkin+brown sugar+ pumpkin pie spice
topped with cream cheese frosting)
fall fashion- hand me down sweater, skinnies from JCP with gift card and gorgeous NS Pottery necklace
#cheapgirlfashion
an awesome job where I'm surrounded by the smell of cupcakes, good music and enough free time to answer emails
oh, and a boss who will leave to buy me a latte when it's cold out!
this pretty headband from All Glorious Within
a big beautiful dog park with breathtaking views
and an awesome friend to walk through it with
