Thoughtful Thursday

A lesson I learned from reading the Little House series over thirty times and watching every episode over and over too - 

You've got to start romanticizing your life. You've got to start believing that your morning commute is fun {and for those at home that morning commute is making beds, changing sheets and fixing breakfast again}, that every cup of tea or coffee is the best you've ever had, that even the smallest and most mundane things are new and exciting. You have to because that's when you truly start living. That's when you look forward to every day appreciating all the glorious things you have around you rather than those you don't.

Thank you Laura Ingalls Wilder for being my hero since I was eight years old. One day I need to tell that story of how she become my hero at such a young age and how my life was shaped by her books.
