I love this photo of me and my oldest daughter when she was just a few months old.
Things over here are going well but every day I feel myself slipping a tiny bit. Luckily I have wonderful parents, an amazing husband, darling children, wonderful friends, and a whole lot of empowering blogs that buoy me up and keep me smiling.
Why don't you check out some of them?
Ruth Writes about the strength and beauty in each of us.
Over at Luxe Chandelier, Steph Anne posts a picture of beautiful self without any make-up on as part of a small confidence movement spreading around the web, head over to Fat Mum Slim to receive a healing dose of empowerment.
How do you stay cheerful, even when things feel heavy?

Chin up my dear. You are an angel :)
Oh my. Your blog is beautiful. That video almost made me cry.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the shout out :)
Wow... Your video is incredibly touching. It made me cry, but it also made my very happy to see because YOU looked HAPPY to be doing it. I love it. I really, really do :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI stay cheerful by surrounding myself with people who love me...praying...and being thankful for what I have. xx
Thank you for the compliment on my blog! It is so true what you said below about the smallest acts of kindness, right down to a blog comment, can brighten someone's day. I have to admit I primarily read fashion and interior blogs (seems so superficial now!) but you have something really special here and you've obviously touched a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteGreat work!

That photo is so sweet...The one person who always can cheer me up is Balazs...He always knows what to say:)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day my dear!
Kisses
Lovely post which made me think.
ReplyDeleteI decided friends and family are what cheer me up when I am down. People you can count on!
Thanks for the blog recomendations, they are all lovely! ♥
ReplyDeleteAhh! you look just like Azure and Brooke in that picture!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable picture! What makes me still happy is trying to do something I know makes me smile or happy. The fact that I can still smile at something small like a beautiful memory keeps me going! =)
ReplyDeleteThat picture is too cute!! Her spiky little baby hair!! Eek!
ReplyDeleteWhen I start getting down about life I try to think of people who have it worse than me. Whatever my problem is at the moment there is someone out there whose burden is heavier. That immediately gives me a little perspective and makes me feel grateful for what I have. And soon the feeling of gratefulness starts to lift the weight away.
And let's be honest there is usually also candy involved!
That picture is so precious! No wonder it's one of your favorites. Music is definitely one of my go-to mood boosters - even if not all of it is exactly high quality ;)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I don't. Sometimes I just let myself fall apart. Then usually, right smack dab in the middle of my meltdown, I will have the weirdest thought that will strike me funny and my brain will automatically run with it until I am laughing at how ridiculous I can be.
ReplyDeleteMy sisters think I need medication but I think I like me just the way I am. Normal is just so over-rated.
such an adorable photo!!!!!!!!
