Hello my loves,
How are you today?
Do you remember my Bucket List? I don't know when I started thinking about the things I want to do, see and achieve in life but I kind of always had a bucket list somewhere in the back of my mind. It took me a long time, to start writing it down and I doubt that the list I posted on here is long exhausted.
If you remember I recently did the #100happydays challenge and am quite proud of myself to have made it through the 100 days without failure. Those 100 days have definitely helped me to get into a mindset of a healthier and happier outlook on life; however, sometimes in our busy and hectic lives I think it is nice to have a reminder why we are lucky to live the life we have. While I was browsing the web for ideas what to put into my A Piece of Cake series I came across this post and I think she is completely right. As it was so nicely put:
We need to reflect on the good things that have come to us in our lives. Even if you don’t feel like you’ve done anything huge with your life just yet, I guarantee you can find something to look back on and be proud of.
That’s why I’m suggesting we all make what I like to call a Nectar List. It’s a lot like a Bucket List, but instead of listing the things we want to do before we kick the bucket, we list the things that have been the nectar of our existence so far.

... to be continued
It's not only things that make you proud of what you've achieved but also the little, silly things that make your life worthwhile. Be proud of who you are, what you do and enjoy your life to the fullest.
