The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles.~ William Penn

I saw this post last night at Helen's blog about "Weekly Gratitude" and I am choosing it to do it on the blog today. Because someone just reminded me to add up my blessings instead of my troubles. SIGH.



So here we go: (atleast I can try hard to write some - its always hard to come up with positive things when you are in a negative mood? Does that ever happen to you?)

So here we go - >>>>> I am greatful for:

• A New house (that comes with a new deck to take pictures on), my new big room. I am greatful that my family could afford a newer bigger house.
• Greatful for a loving family who is doing everything for my happiness and ignoring the rest of the drama
• A loving Fiancee to be. He is wonderful. I wuv you.
• Great close friends who are doing unlimited things to make the engagement party happen...Thank you guys!
• Ability to have food, a roof over my head, a job I love, clothes, ability to buy what I want, healthy body and mind - Oh how I take you for granted.
• Greatful to have amazing readers who read my fashion posts, life posts, rants (Thanks guys!) and who come back to read it day after day.
• Grateful to own a car and be able to drive =)

WHAT ELSE:

• Its been 6 years since Ryan and I have been together, and FINALLY in 2 weeks, we will be engaged. THIS IS SO AWESOME.
• Our families get along and have a good time without any of the politics. That is the # 1 reason I did not want to marry into the community. You not only marry the guy but the politics of the extended family that comes with it. I grew up with it and didn't want the same for my future life.
• Ryan's family appreciates our culture, our values and oh so calm and collected when we are explaining things to them even though it is all foreign to them
• I love seeing my dad's smiling face when Ryan speaks in punjabi with him (native Language - from Punjab, India).
• We have a wedding date! YAHOO! =)

This is a GOOD exercise to gain back a positive prespective. I feel better. Thanks to Helen's blog again to send me some inspiration. God bless. I will be back on outfit posts starting tomo!!

Now some pics I love: ENJOY! :)

Good times! :D
