GROUPON

"If you don't know, now you know." This site is VITAL. Today I got Billy a stock car driving experience usually $369 for $165, myself a $105 spa experience for $39 and had to log off before I could spend anymore money. It is ah.maz.ing.

MY CAMERA.

She's not new, she's not fancy, but with the help of many, many blogs/websites/conversations with others/and a few lens purchases, she has made me very happy!

Isn't Thanksgiving a great time to focus on being greatful for what we have and deciding to have as much as we want?

No Such Thing

There is no such thing as perfect. I will never be the perfect wife. I don't even know what that looks like! I certainly don't know any, so what would I model myself after? I think I will just be me but try and be the best me that I can. I like to think that I am constantly considerate of my husband and others but I could be better at it. I could be better at my job with more effort on planning and preparation, I could be a better cook, tennis player, gardener, photographer but I will never be perfect at any of these things. I need to pick something to truly excel at and have fun with all the rest.

I choose to be best at my relationships. All of them. At the advice of Depak Chopra, I will give each person I come into contact with a gift. Whether it be a physical gift or a compliment, prayer or smile, I will be a giver.

Counting my blessings as we speak!
