Why, Thank Ya!

Today’s prompt asks about the last compliment I received.  Being in a very loving marriage, my husband showers me with compliments on a daily basis so I’m constantly being lifted up.  Outside of my safe haven, compliments come in all kinds of shapes and sizes.  Two of the ones that stand out to me that made the most impact on me are:

“You are such a great mom.”

“You are SO rocking the ‘Mommy-Chic… it looks good on you girl.”

Of course the first made such an impression because I’m a new mom and constantly feel like I’m flying by the seat of my pants in order to keep up with my little man.  Hearing that what I’m doing is right is such a confidence boost.

The “Mommy-Chic” line MADE. MY. DAY!  Of course as a woman I am self conscious of my body.  Add in the ass that comes along with child bearing and BOOM - big time body complex.  Having someone (other than my husband) tell me that I look fabulous made me want to float away on my cloud 9.  You know what made it even better?  The compliment came from a gay man.  We ALL know they have style!  Woo hoo!

What compliments have you received that made your day?

NaBloPoMo a.k.a Happy November Y'all

Happy November y’all!  It is such a great month – Thanksgiving, Christmas prep, “No Shave November”, “Movember”, college football gets even better, cooler temperatures grace our doors, the leaves fall and apples are a top priority on the grocery list.  November is also fabulous because it is National Blog Posting Month.  Let us celebrate by writing each weekday.  Sure, I should attempt an every-day-of-November blog posting routine, but let’s be honest… that isn’t going to happen around here.  I’m a working mom who works three different gigs.  Do you really think I’ll have time to post every single day?  (Ok, I’m making lame excuses again.)

Over at BlogHer they have amazing prompts for each day of the month.  To help get my creative writing juices flowing once again, I’m going to jump on board with them and write using their prompts.  Today’s prompt is “Tell us your favorite quotation and why.”

Awesome.  First prompt and my answer is, “don’t really have one”.  Terrible, I know.  I just do not find inspiration in infamous quotes, but do find motivation and strength in every word I read from my Bible.  Here is a little something for today "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; his love endures forever. (1 Chronicles 16:34).  I promise I will not preach around here, but it is where I find my “umph” y'all.

Here’s hoping that the rest of the month is a little more productive than today’s right?  LOL
