FBFF Friday April 15 – Gratitude

This is my second time writing on the Fashion Beauty Friend Friday topic.  I love the topic of “gratitude” for this week.  It is one of the things I am enjoying blogging about most, but I may have a bit of a challenge answering the questions this week since I am a new-ish blogger.  I really do enjoy the Modly Chic blog and the FBFF idea is fun, so check it out if you would like.  This is one of her cute blog button pictures:

April 15: Gratitude – This is the official one-year anniversary of
FBFF! (I’m already moved just thinking of its approach.) So I wanted
to do something about gratitude. We each have so many people in our
lives and in the blogging community who have helped us along the way.
It’s time to shine the spotlight on them and give credit where credit
is due.
1.  When it comes to me personally – I owe a lot of who I am to:

I feel that I am so very grateful about so much in my life, so I am wondering why this first question feels so hard to answer.  

I think that who I am right now, is the question, really.  When I ask myself that, the answer seems much easier in that it is to be a wife and mother.  Now, I think the answer obviously becomes, for me, my husband and children.  I am the wife I am because I am lucky enough to have a husband who inspires me to be my best.  I want to do things that make him feel happy and loved.  The same goes for our children.  I do all the things I do as a mother with the two of them in mind.  All of my choices are designed to help them become the best people they can be.  I am so grateful to the three of them for giving me the inspiration to work hard and be the best I can be.
2. When it comes to me professionally – I owe a lot of who I am to:

This question is really the same answer as above because my personal and professional lives are mostly one and the same.
3. When it comes to the art of blogging, I’m grateful to these people
for helping me through some rough spots:

I have not really had any rough spots yet, but I am sure my time will come.  I guess I am grateful the sailing has gone so smoothly so far.  I am grateful however, to all the other wonderful bloggers I am discovering every day.  I am so excited to find fun new wonderful sites all the time.  These people are full of unique ideas that spark my own creativity each time I visit their sites.
4. One blogging challenge I’m grateful happened because it made me
stronger was…

I really do not have an answer to this question.
5. To my readers, I’d like to say…

Thank you so much!  I am so pleased to think that people might enjoy sharing my thoughts and experiences, even if it’s only a few people so far. 🙂  I like to write and share my ideas about fashion and being a mom in San Diego and I hope I can share some of the joy I get from those everyday experiences.
