Happy mid-week, lovelies! How wonderful that it's already the middle of the week and I've only had to work one day so far. And I only have 2 and a half more days of work before another weekend at the beach.
With all of the fun I've been having lately I've been feeling very grateful and blessed to have such a wonderful life. Sure I have hard times like everyone but overall I know that I'm a very lucky girl and I wouldn't change one little thing about my life. I'm in love with my childhood sweetheart, I have an amazing family, wonderful friends, I love my job, love my city and I'm also able to travel and explore other fantastic places fairly frequently. No complaints here :)
I always think it's good to step back and reflect about the fortunes you have in your life. It just makes you appreciate things more. So what about you all? What are you grateful for these days?
Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day, loves! xoxo

I agree. I slip away to the heart of woods to reflect - there's plenty to be thankful for.xx
Hi Dawn,

Dawn, this post is beautiful. Definitely one of my faves! I am thankful for mostly to have been blessed w/ two wonderful kids. It's such a gift. Oh, and I'm thankful to you for giving me eye candy to drool over ever day! Like I said before, I'm moving in... you just know how to live life to the fullest! xo
And we are happy to share little bits of your lovely life every day. I am also grateful for what life has given me so far. Wishing you a wonderful summer, Dawn! Your weekends by the seaside and summer work program sound so awfully good. :) ps: I've left some awards for you on my blog today. ;)
That's a lovely post! I've been trying also to take some minutes to express my gratitude!

I have that same feeling a lot lately!! Really loving life!!! And ps- lets go to that villa, and layout and read magazines and swim for hours! k, thanks!
At first I said to myself "Totally! I totally want Dawn's life." Then I realized what you were saying and I realized, yes, my life is completely blessed and would not change a thing. Well, maybe I'd like your style...
Is that Diana Agron? Love the picture! We should definitely count our blessings.
Ooh yes perhaps we can meet during the week. I'll e-mail you!

This post is beyond gorgeous in every way- that first shot took my breath away and I love how you've mixed it with subtle beauty. As for me, I'm incredibly grateful for my family and children- they bring me so much happiness! Loved this post. xo
Stunning post! Truly. And I love the sentiment. It's easy to become numb to the things we're blessed with and forget that, in the grand scheme of things, even running water is a luxury. Phenomenal work, as always!
Beautiful photos! And that Summer house looked so perfect! Plus, a weekend at the beach sounds perfect too, looks like a fun relaxing weekend soon! :)
Grateful for so many things - a wonderful family, dear friends and having the beach within a short drive.
The weekend is almost here!!!
xoxo Elizabeth
Your childhood sweetheart - I love that! Love this post :)
Beautiful sentiments Dawn and very true. It's easy to get stressed and bogged down and complain, but more difficult to step back and realize all that you have. Right now I'm grateful for my college sweetheart, our pup, our new apartment which is finally coming together, and even my job with all of its headaches and all.
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Grateful for everything. Really! Gorgeous pictures!

I am grateful for the sun shinning and being able to make my work schedule work so I can enjoy some of it and dear friends to enjoy the sun with!
Much love,

Ah such a beautiful post. Yes there is a lot to be thankful and grateful for! I feel the same. Lovely images too! :)
Beautiful and inspiring message Dawn!
I've always been thankful for who I am and for everything that I have achieved in life. What's most important is who you are, not what others make of you. Stay strong and grow in so many aspects of life. Think about others and help them when there's a need. Be kind even when others are not. This is what keeps the spirit alive. And YES, be grateful for every blessing and each dream you've realized.
Sunshine and smiles to you always! (-:
Such a beautiful post Dawn :) I keep a grateful journal and write down all the things that I'm grateful for. Much Love xoxox
Wonderful! So much to be greatful for and living the good life! xo
Your happiness is infectious!
Lovely post! Nice and inspiring pictures:)
i'm grateful for my life, too. with the hardships and difficulties, there is also plenty of happiness :)
An amazing husband, and an amazing family, in general, is at the top of my list! Couldn't ask for more!!
Glad you reminded me to stop and smell the roses ;)

I'm greatful for my opportunity to work now to save up for an exciting work term in Australia in September!

Dawn, what a lovely sunny happy post!
You are absolutely right - we need to sit ourselves down and count our blessings regularly. Life is precious and there is always so much to be happy and grateful for.
Enjoy your sweet life my friend, and keep on spreading the sunlight.

I too am grateful for life at the moment! It's nice to feel like you're holding on with two hands and taking in every moment and opportunity possible :-)
Beautiful post! I am so grateful for my family and my life. When I see what others have to endure, I know I have a wonderful existence. Like you, I don't find everything to be perfect. But...perfection is highly over-rated. Be well, my friend!
Ohhh my...these pictures are just gorgeous.
I love this post!

As always Dawn, very beautiful images. And I'm happy for you you have so many fortunes. I feel the same about my life and wouldn't want to change a thing!
couldn't agree more! xo
