Accessories

I had such a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. I had the chance to relax, laugh, and most importantly stuff my face with two of the people I love most in this world. Best of all, I had the chance to bring in my first holiday in my new home. I can honestly tell you there is no one more grateful than I, for the pure blessings that I have received this year. Although it started off as a rough one, I can see now that it's ending strong. Only to prepare me to bring in 2016 even stronger. I am super excited. Not to say that this year hasn't had its trials and tribulations and I'm sure I will experience way more next year, but I am estatic nonetheless. Having love in my life,  romantic and otherwise, has helped me become equipped for whatever comes my way. I'm stoked for the holidays, and I know I'm way too old to believe in Santa but I know I'm going to have a jolly Christmas this year. I woke up this morning feeling amazing. Wait I don't get to express that often so I'm going to write that again: 
I woke up this morning feeling amazing.

Not only that, it wasn't just a fleeting feeling. I felt amazing ALL DAY. And it showed. I was smiling, I took pictures and I even played with a little makeup.  Everybody knows  I'm usually on team fresh-faced 24/7 but I was feeling sassy. Honestly there's nothing in the whole world better than reconnecting with your TRUE loved ones because they remind you of the best qualities within yourself. When you remember how awesome you are it is so easy to just carry it around with you, like a really pretty scarf or a gorgeous purse. And it is definitely true that when you feel down it's easier said than done to pull yourself up. However, there is no harm in getting a helpful, loving, sometimes blunt reminder that You ARE the shit. No if ands or buts about it. The really great things, like love, happiness and inner beauty never go out of style. Confidence, no matter how difficult it can be to maintain sometimes, is your best accessory.
