Feel Grateful Friday #5


I am pretty darn thankful for all of you guys! No matter how many times I fall off the blogger wagon, you guys always leave me the loveliest comments and are still so sweet and still come to my blog. I sure do appreciate all of you! I figured a good way to get back into the swing of things is with a Grateful Friday because things have been crazy over at chez Petersen as of late. 

- Firstly I'm grateful for all the positive affirmations. I'm a self-diagnosed seasonal depressive, I seriously become worthless as the weather changes from season to season and it's all I can do to get out of bed. I know, I hear you, "But Kim, Fall's your favorite." It is, it's true, but still, every time the season's change I get really mopey and unproductive. I've been making it a point to practice positive meditation and affirmations in the mornings while getting ready and this has helped. I'll talk more about that in another blog post.

- Date night. The hubs and I went to see Blink-182. I know, I'm totally showing my age, but I seriously get flashbacks of high school and driving around for hours listening to my Blink tape. Yes, tape. Do you guys even know what cassettes are? Anyhoo, I'm way too old to waste gas driving around aimlessly these days but I still love throwing on some Blink and giving my house a good clean out. It was so much fun and it was nice to spend some time with my bae.

- The weekend! We made an executive decision not to open the coffee shops at all on Sundays this year and I don't feel a bit bad about that because I actually get a weekend. I mean, it's technically a day but when you haven't had a day off in ages and then you get one day it's like a whole weekend. I don't actually do anything productive but I give zero cares because curling up in bed with a book sounds like the perfect Sunday to me so I'm really grateful to have that day!

Let me know what you guys have been up to this week and what's making you feel particularly grateful. Again, you guys are quite literally the best people ever. XO

  1. Hi love, I always miss you but I always know 100% why you're not at your space. You have a life girl and how wonderful not have a coffee shop open on Sundays, you need a day to recharge. I love Blink 182 and also had the cassette tape. I would've loved to of seen them in concert. I saw them on the today show not long ago and they're still fabulous! I hope you have a wonderful weekend beautiful friend!

  3. I hope you enjoy your well deserved Sundays off Kim! You need to take some time off every once in a while be it from blogging, work or whatever is stressing you out. Also, I totally remember Blink 182 from high school. It makes me feel old now to realize that music from the 90s is now being played on classic rock stations, it really doesn't seem like that long ago! I hope you have a lovely weekend!

    1. Thanks so much Katie, it has been so nice! I know, it's amazing isn't it? I don't feel like '90's is classic but I suppose to the kiddos it's ancient hahaha. I hope you are doing well my sweet friend! XO -Kim

  4. I'd love to hear more about the positive meditations :) I think it's a brilliant idea to have sundays off we all desserve a break or we cannot function healthily or happily :)

    lots of love, Marianne xxx

  5. They were so, so, so good! It was a fun lineup ... also saw All Time Low and A Day to Remember (one of our favorites!). Yes! I remember waiting to record songs and then if you missed some of it or the dj talked over the start it was just ruined! So funny! I love you so much Rainbow. Thank you for sharing what you are grateful for, she sounds like a great friend! XO -Kim
