Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving dear friends! We at The Lilypad are so grateful for you all! The site wouldn’t be what it was without every single person…whether on staff or not…that comes here and shopes, reads, chats, inspires.
Gratitude is such a natural part of life but often hard to focus on. Part of my goal this year was to focus on being grateful for everything…good and bad…big or small. Once you start really working on focusing on things in this way, it’s amazing how much happier you are. You realize how important everything is but at the same time how unimportant things are! Makes sense huh? 😉 I have found, when I focus on being grateful, that the big scary awful things that I let eat away at me are often not as important as I once thought. At the same time, those little things that I used to not even give a second glance to, are often soooo important! I started taking photos, that I intended to share regularly as collages but often just kept for myself, of all these little things. Little beautiful moments in this adventure we call life. Things that I used to take for granted. I challenge you to focus on gratitude. Focus on seeing the lessons to be learned from difficult situations. Focus on the beautiful in the seeminly mundane. It will change your life!
On this day full of giving thanks and being grateful, I wanted to share with you some beautiful gratitude pages from some of our own dear Pollys. I hope they inspire and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
