I’m on a giant sugar buzz after demolishing a surprise cupcake, gifted to me from my lovely friend at work! Adorned with a giant pink flower, it’s just one of the things that I’m thankful for today… and it’s just the day for it, what with it being Things I Love Thursday and all!

Let me say straight out, right at the top of my list of things to be ludicrously thankful for this week was the first day of proper, actual, tangible, glorious sunshine that beamed down on my city yesterday. It was the first entire day of sunlight that we’ve seen in months. I celebrated by going out on my lunch break and sitting at an outdoor cafe, sipping a latte and letting the rays warm my back while I read my book . Utter bliss. I think we all tend to take the sunlight for granted – nothing makes me feel happier than time spent in the sun. Get that Vitamin D up in you, girl.

Pink flower cupcake toppers

It’s so important to stop and really reflect o the things in your life that fill you with joy. we spend so much time worrying about the things in our lives that we’d prefer to change, that we don’t actually spend enough time focusing on the gratitude and positive energy that will help us change them. While writing these weekly lists may seem silly, they are powerful manifestation tools that help to create light and happiness in your life. They fill you with renewed purpose and thankfulness, and teach you to accept what is truly spectacular about the world. If you’ve never tried it before, why not give it a whirl? What better day to say ‘thanks’ to the Universe than Things I Love Thursday? Share your list on my Facebook page for some extra Universal lovin’!
I spent a good part of last night squirming with excitement under my covers, planning my Blogcademy scholarship application. The Melbourne class is coming u in November, so I have to get my entry in soon. I have big plans for my little project … but it’s all I’m saying o the subject, for now, anyway!
I hope you’re all having a magical day.
Vibin’ out,
