I'm recovering from a truly delightful weekend. For a little while I've been a little down in the dumps, and I can say that this past weekend I just decided to push that all to the side and enjoy my life. I've been spending so long dwelling on things in the past instead of just living and moving beyond it.
Friday night, one of my best friends and I went out for dinner. We had the yummiest pizza, did some shopping, grabbed dessert, and just walked around talking about life. It was one of those simple, easy nights that are just so wonderful!
I've been trying to make an honest effort to spend more quality time with my family as well, so Saturday was devoted to my parents. My mom and I checked out a local farmer's market and shopped around for some good deals. We grabbed coffee and chatted, and overall just had a relaxing day. We even found time for her to show me how to make leche flan (a Filipino dessert). It was so delicious!
The afternoon was devoted to cooking with my dad and doing even more shopping. I was able to truly appreciate both of my parents and I even learned some things I had never known before.
Sunday, I spent some quality time with my cousins and we decided to check out Downtown Disney. We were able to walk around, talk, and check out some music! It's always nice to have heart to hearts and just spend that time together.
I feel that family is so important. I'm really blessed to have such amazing people in my life and I'm trying to kind of take an attitude of gratitude approach with things.
I stumbled across a quote once and I think of it often:
I find that this sentiment holds true in so many instances in my life. If I'm in a sad, negative mood, I tend to find only those things around me and it continues to drag me down. When I'm seeking positive energy and light, I find that the sun is a little brighter, my dad is a little peppier, life is a whole lot better. So keep this in mind and try to give what you are wanting in return.
