5 things I am thankful for in 2020

Leave a Comment

2020 has been a year, hasn’t it? We have all somehow been affected by this pandemic. Jobs, relationships, school, and well basically what we considered our “normal” has been flipped upside down. It might seem like there’s little to be thankful for but we must always look at the silver lining. This year for me personally opened up my eyes to a few things. Today I want to share 5 things I’m thankful for in 2020.

5 things I am thankful for in 2020

One. Health

More than ever health has been something that I am more than thankful for. I thank God every day that my family and I are healthy. And I pray that God continues to shield us. Being healthy is something that I didn’t really bat an eye to until now and I don’t take it granted for anymore. 

Two. Family 

Family is everything to me, sadly this year we suffered some losses and it was so difficult on us. It still is actually. But through our grieving process, we have grown closer. I find myself wanting to spend more time with them and just cherishing every little moment. I call them a little more and let them know how much I love them. Even the family I’m not near I make it a point to FaceTime and make time for them. 

Three. My job/Blog

I am so thankful to be still able to work during this time and able to help provide for my family. I know a lot of people have lost their jobs and that truly breaks my heart. I’m also very thankful for the opportunities my blog and Instagram have brought me. Every opportunity big or small is received with so much love and gratitude. 

Four. Friends

Oh my God, my friends have been so amazing to me. They have kept me grounded and lifted me up when I need it. I have faced a few bumps and sometimes some sinkholes this year but I know I can always count on my girls to be there. I am so lucky to have been able to meet so many wonderful woman this year and that I actually get to call friends. The amount of love that I feel from them each just makes my heart burst. 

Five. My Faith

That’s funny as I was typing this my sister called me to do our weekly prayer request and to check up on each other. But yes my faith has grown immensely, I am in no way shape, or form perfect but I am trying to trust God and his plan. I am learning to just let go and let God. It hasn’t been easy and I am nowhere near where I need to be but I am in a better place. 

5 things I am thankful for in 2020

Like I said it may seem like our world is upside down right now but let’s try to look at the good even if it’s something small. It’s very easy to focus on the bad and even though we are going through something so scary I am hopeful that we will all be okay. Know that my heart is with you all.  Hope you enjoyed reading about the 5 things I am thankful for in 2020. 

What are you thankful for this year?

Hey girl hey 👋🏼 Happy Monday!! I’ve notice Hey girl hey 👋🏼 Happy Monday!! I’ve noticed a few new faces so I think it’s more than appropriate to reintroduce myself  and give y’all some fun little facts about me 😊 (side-note I don’t think I ever really introduce myself 😂 so maybe this is a first)

1. My name is Miriam, I’m 29 years old and I’m 4’11

2. I was born in Mexico City and came to the USA when I was 8 years old. I learned English by watching tv and also reading those book they used to sell on tv back in the day🤣

3. I collect mugs, books, notebooks and pens 

4. I went to college and I completed the billing and coding specialist program but have not gotten certified 😣 working on that this year, because your girl paid out of pocket and we can’t let that go to waste.

5. I love thrifting, when we first moved here that’s where my parents got majority of what we had. I picked up on this hobby 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back since.

6. I’ve watched @greysabc more than 20 times 😳

7. I am super quiet but when I am comfortable the real me comes out. The Miriam my friends see is not the Miriam everyone else sees 😂 I’ll have y’all shookth 

8. I am late all the time, it’s a super bad habit of mine.

9. I had my oldest when I was 16. 

10. I am super emotional like I will cry if I see you cry and I won’t be able to stop either 🤣

So welcome if you’re new 💕 if you like fashion, faith, kids, books, pictures of me with eyes closed (it happens a lot) and just random fun shenanigans then you’re in the right place 

Now it’s your turn tell me something about yourself..
Alexa play ✨Good Days✨ by @sza Hope you all Alexa play ✨Good Days✨ by @sza 

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend. It’s chilly and it’s supposed to rain here in Dallas so I’m staying for the most part. I will have to run a few errands at some point to get a few things that I’ll need for @julibaxter bridal shower 🙌🏼 can’t wait for y’all to see all the shenanigans and y’all what I’m wearing is 🔥I’ll be giving y’all modern day bridgerton vibes 😉

Do you have any plans?
You like my outfit gee thanks it’s ✨thrifted✨

No, but it really is minus the hat and boots. I challenged myself to find a complete outfit and I gave myself a budget 😳 what a budget?!? Y’all know I’m usually a big baller when I thrift lol but I gave myself a $20-$25 max budget. And I got this blazer, top, jeans and purse for.....$20 🙌🏼 and love how it all just flows so effortlessly. I might be challenging myself more often.

Do you go thrift shopping?
So I don’t regularly post pictures of food becau So I don’t regularly post pictures of food because well I don’t think I can capture the essence of food like others 😂 but I thought my chicken noodle soup was very fitting for today’s little message.

Y’all it’s a mess over here in Texas! People have gone with our power, without water, and in some cases without food for a couple of days and it’s truly heartbreaking. My family and I have been okay our lights and water weren’t effected and I’m so grateful but in the same breath I felt guilty. So many people are really struggling like if the virus wasn’t enough as it is. Ive been praying so much and just really dedicating time to check on family and friends. I have also donated what I could. In the midst of it all I have found a sense of peace. God has a funny way of delivering certain messages and He’s been talking. This time has allowed me to really see things in a different perspective and to really appreciate everything. I know it’s hard to see the good in between all the bad but there’s always a little silver lining. 

I hope all of my Texas people are safe and warm. I’m praying for you all and if you need to talk please DM me. 

Also if you have been sharing, donating and or opening your homes up to other people thank you! You are amazing and I am so glad that we still have people who care.
I’m a queen, I’m a dream because I’m me You I’m a queen, I’m a dream because I’m me
