I loved this floral maxi when I found it at Goodwill

I know that it is light enough to wear on even the hottest Summer Day, but will be 

very versatile even in Winter with tights due to the colors,  which can be worn all seasons…

There are so many colors in floral prints that make them very versatile.

I know that at some point this summer I will pair this with my olive vest to pull out the greens…

Even a creme tank top with my crotchet vest will pump up the boho feel and lighten up the darks..

I love the fun detail like on this one to take a plain t-shirt up a notch…

I found this one at either BJ’s or Sam’s Club last year,,, Just a reminder that you should leave no retail opportunity out… 

I have to say that my Plank Jacks from Thursday from Weight Management Wednesday’s post 

are very effective and I am really feeling it after a few days….

In fact I hit the massage chair at the mall and was feeling sore after walking the mall…(not a bad sore, jsut the kind that let’s you know you’ve worked out…) 

Funny thing happened this morning, after saying to myself that I needed to stop weighing daily while exercising, my scale would not turn on today, and there is a brand new battery in it??????  It worked yesterday...

Gratitude

I am grateful for a fun mall shopping day with my two youngest 18 and 14 year old sons.

I am grateful that we had great success and got them both quite a few clothing items they needed…(boys really are fun to shop with and so particular)

I am grateful for the sweet texts my husband sent me all day, as he is out of town training unitl Saturday evening.

I am grateful for the arrival of my packing folders from Eagle Creek that arrived today, they are going to be wonderful for the Ireland trip in October…

I am grateful for I am grateful for the energy I found today to start a closet purge and hope to finish tomorrow…

I am so grateful for wonderful miracles like the one yesterday, after missing my mom and talking to her recently asking for a sign that she is around me… I picked up a hanger out of a pile in the hamper to find my mother’s medical alert necklace attached to it.  this necklace had been in my old jewelery box since I took it home with me the day before she passed when I checked her into the hospital…My scarf rack is on top of it .so it’s not like anyone was in that jewelry box…
