I agree that it's so important to soak in the good and the beauty that exists in the world. When one of my dear childhood friends was diagnosed with cancer this summer, it was a huge wake-up call to me that I can't take people for granted and that I need to actively nurture my relationships instead of just expecting people to always be there. We need to create those small, meaningful, beautiful moments for ourselves and others, and we need to notice and appreciate them as they happen.siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-37368567021759231162013-08-21T17:30:39.213-04:002013-08-21T17:30:39.213-04:00I SO have to enjoy more of the little things in li...I SO have to enjoy more of the little things in life - I think we're all guilty of missing out on them these days! :)<br /><br />♡jilly<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/en/blog/2439068/sorelle-in-style" rel="nofollow">sorelle in style</a>siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663693627655371969.post-79100131317918831082013-08-21T14:54:01.839-04:002013-08-21T14:54:01.839-04:00What a beautiful post!

As if you plucked it right out of my brain! From the scary/beautiful world, to recognizing anxiety, to wanting to celebrate everything- yes. A million times over. Thanks for sharing in such an honest way.

I love what you said about recognizing anxiety. I think that identifying something makes it much easier to tackle and much less scary.<br /><br /><br />Sounds like you've had a great 26th year, so here's to an even better 27th. Happy Birthday tomorrow. :)siddathorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566532867568697455noreply@blogger.com
