DAY 1: SHOWING GRATITUDE FOR OUR HOMES

I want to start off by saying Happy New Year! I am so grateful for the growing Mi Vida Collective community and can't wait to see what 2024 has in store for all of us.

As you may know, for the month of January, I decided to put together 31 days of New Years Resolutions related to loving our homes. For Day 1 of "31 Days of Loving Our Homes", I want us all to take the time to show gratitude for our homes. 

In our fast-paced lives it's easy to overlook the blessings that our homes provide... Our homes are more than just four walls and a roof; they're our sanctuaries, our spaces of comfort and security. Taking a moment to reflect and show gratitude for our homes can bring joy and a renewed appreciation for the little things that make our homes so special.

The reason I wanted to start off the month with gratitude is because I truly believe that showing gratitude is one of the most important steps we can take towards growth and improvement. If we are not grateful for what we currently have, it is hard to find fulfillment in change…

So for day one of 31 days of resolutions, let's make a list of 10 things we are grateful for in regards to our homes… whether its in a notebook or on your notes app it doesn’t matter. We often feel gratitude towards people and things in our lives but taking the extra time to truly sit in our gratitude is extra special.

I'd love to share some things I am grateful for in regards to my home in hopes that it may spark some inspiration for you! 

Gratitude for my home: 

I am so happy and grateful for the comfort that I feel every time I am in my home. 

I am so happy and grateful for the amazing gathering space my home provides for me and my loved ones. 

I am so happy and grateful for the beautiful town in which we have built a home. 

I am so happy and grateful for the ability to work in the comfort of our home.  

I am so happy and grateful for cozy Sunday mornings on the sofa.

I am so happy and grateful for the flowers I look at outside my window while I drink my morning coffee. 

I hope this list inspires you to find the small things to be grateful for. Believe it or not, making a list of even just 10 items can seem like a lot when you are out of practice of taking the time to really jot down your gratitude. 

My hope is that the next 30 days help us fall even more in love with our spaces... our homes are about lots more than just interior decor style, buying decor pieces and keeping up with the latest trends & I want to ensure that throughout the month we constantly refer back to this list to remind ourselves of all the things we already love about our homes.
