The Mundane

Hi loves,

First off, I'm so sorry we haven't updated lately! Our semester is winding down and along with this, we have been overwhelmed with assignments, exams, etc, etc. But, I found a little time today so I wanted to write about something that has been on my mind for quite a while!

I've been so caught up in the day-to-day routines, the mundane, that I've lost a sense of gratefulness. I always try to start and end the day off by thinking about things I am grateful for. Lately, I've had a harder time doing so. As I was wondering why this was, I realized that I've become too used to my routine. It was as if I was just mindlessly going through the motions without any sense of gratefulness.  Everything was too obvious, too normal, and therefore I wasn't grateful.

So, I found this alternative. To find even the simplest little things to get excited for. It started off with noticing the beautiful color-changing leaves, to embracing my morning routines. To add a little more excitement, I've decided to start a little knitting project. I am knitting myself (I know, how selfish) a cream colored scarf. I'm so excited! Thanks to this new little project, I've discovered my sense of joy again and have been discovering more and more things to be grateful for!
Go out and find yourself some excitement! Become inspired. Whether that be a new DIY craft project, traveling someplace, or simply looking forward to catching up with an old friend.

P.S. I will post pictures of my scarf soon! (If it turns out presentable! Wish me luck!)
