Grateful for the mess

 It's a bit contradictory isn't it? You'd never think of "gratitude" and "mess" in the same concept let alone in the same line. But if this week has taught me anything, it's that sometimes, from the mess (and the chaos, and the confusion) you find moments that truly bring out the best in you. That make people say I'm thankful for you. So I'm going into this weekend, looking back at a very messy week and saying - you made it, and you're better for it.

🌸 A very nice break with extended family over Santa Marija weekend. Their support and understanding is invaluable.

🌸 I went to the movies twice! Yes, twice! And I got to enjoy an Aperol Spritz in the theatre too!

🌸 I watched Barbie last Tuesday and America Ferrera's speech resonated so well with me and I think so many other women. The montage at the end of the movie showing different women in different stages of rheir life enjoying simple, happy moments was a real tear-jerker. This movie was so grounding, nothing like how I had imagined it to be.

🌸 Feeling appreciated and instrumental at work gave me a boost I was missing.

🌸 Benji's infectious laugh is truly something. I will always listen to it in awe.
