10 Reasons To Be Thankful Now


“Express gratitude for the greatness of small things.”
― Richie Norton

Here are 10 reasons to be thankful:


1. Every day brings new opportunities and the sun is shining.

2. There are people in your life who love you.

3. You can give love to others.

4. You are in good health.

5. We have the freedom to enjoy many things in life.

6. You have the opportunity to learn new things every day.

7. You can cherish your past joys and memories.

8. Technology has made our lives easier.

9. Sometimes strangers show us kindness.

10. Forgiveness is always possible.

Take time to reflect on these reasons and consider what you are thankful for. Consider keeping a journal to record daily entries of your positive thoughts. Focusing on gratitude can help start your day on a positive note.

I would love to hear from you! Please comment below and let me know what you are thankful for.

    It's easy to get caught up in the negative at times and focus on what we don't have. When I catch myself doing this I try to turn my thoughts to what I do have and what I am thankful for. A roof over my head, food on my plate and a loving family. That's all I really need in the end.

    It’s such a great idea to keep a list of things that you’re thankful for. It’s easy to get caught up in thinking about all the things you don’t have but we really have so many things to be thankful for.

    Whenever I am in a bad mood, I stop and list off several things that I am grateful for. This puts my hostility in serious perspective for me, and usually changes my mood pretty quickly. I love this list.

    Such lovely thoughts. The fact that we are privileged to be born human is itself a reason good enough to be thankful. Being positive & kind hearted are the true key to be happy. Positivity drives happiness for me.

    I needed to see this today. As tensions rise with the upcoming election, recent civil unrest, family estrangement...it's good to stop and think what we are grateful for. I'd love to share this on my own wall today if I may?

Easy Floral Decoupage Idea for Faux Pumpkin Display

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to share a simple and easy floral pumpkin design you can create quickly. Today, we will make a faux floral pumpkin display using decoupage and a few additional designs. I'm reusing a foam pumpkin that I bought at Dollar Tree. If you’re ready, let’s begin creating an easy floral decoupage faux pumpkin display! Quick video tutorial **Materials needed:** - Acrylic paint - Paintbrush - Floral napkin - Faux pearls - Faux flowers - Craft knife - Scissors - Mod Podge Carefully remove the top of your pumpkin. I used my craft knife to go around the top section, creating a hole at the top. Using a paintbrush, apply acrylic paint to the pumpkin. I chose to paint mine black. Next, use scissors to cut out a few flowers from your napkin. Make sure to remove the second layer of the napkin before cutting out the designs.   Once you have your floral designs cut out, use a paintbrush to apply Mod Podge to the pumpkin. While the Mod Podge is wet, add the floral napkin c...

DIY Floral Wooden Jack‑O’‑Lanterns (Easy Fall Decor)

I’ve been having so much fun creating fall projects this year. These floral wooden jack‑o’‑lanterns  started as simple wooden pumpkins, but with a few pretty transfers and some soft paint colors, they turned into the sweetest little fall accents. I love how the florals give them a cozy, cottage‑style feel while still keeping that classic jack‑o’‑lantern charm. They’re quick to make, easy to customize, and such a cute way to add a warm autumn touch to your home. Watch the video tutorial Materials Wooden pumpkin cutouts Floral transfers Acrylic paint (your chosen colors) Gold acrylic paint Green acrylic paint Mini dowels Hot glue gun + glue sticks Small wooden stands Brown acrylic paint Paintbrushes   Add the floral transfers I started by placing my floral transfers onto each wooden pumpkin, just arranging them until they felt right. Once they were where I wanted them, I used a little rubbing tool to press them down and transfer the design onto the wood. Take your time with this...
