Three Moments Of Thanks

Coming home to find these beautiful roses

This week I am thankful for being loved by my wonderful husband, family and most of all by my God. I am thankful for little moments that bring joy into life. I am thankful for the holidays and time off. This week we celebrated the Jewish new year, the holidays are one of my favorite parts of living here. The streets become quite and the stores are all closed. Everything is peaceful. We spent the evening of Rosh Hashana with family and friends. It was also so nice to have a couple days off, to rest and enjoy the peacefulness.

This week I am thankful for getting back into a routine. For the past eight months our life had been change after change after change. But we are finally settling back into life, although it is a sharp adjustment to make having a routine has really helped me in this process. For the first few weeks I felt like my body was here but my head was not really here. I couldn't really bring myself to do things, I was really excited to do things like organize our home and paint etc' but just didn't have the motivation to actually start doing those things. So I made a little a schedule for the week, made a to-do list and slowly built a little life routine. It really helped my head feel more organized and able to do what I want to do.

I'd love to know what are you thankful for this week? And do you have a weekly routine to help organize your head?

Three moments of thanks is a new series I want to start, every week I will (hopefully) post three moments that I am thankful for. When I was in the Netherlands I did a small speech about being grateful and when I was preparing for it I found out from a few researches that people who are grateful are happier, especially when you express your gratefulness. So I hope to share every week three things I am grateful for.
