11.25.09 ~ Updates, Life ~ posted by Millie

It's that time of year... take a break, breathe in the crisp cold air, warm up a cup of hot cocoa, grab a bite of pumpkin pie and be with those you love!

I'm especially excited because this year my entire family will be here for Thanksgiving, both of my brothers and their wives, along with my nephew, and my parents. We'll all be under one roof filling our bellies with Mom's delicious recipes and laughing and chatting to warm our hearts with one another's company.

Each year around thanksgiving I take some time to think about what it is I am truly thankful for... this year is no different so I thought I would share with all of you the blessings I'm counting during this wonderful season.

My Faith. Some days are easy.... other's are hard. It's through my faith in Jesus Christ that I'm able to recognize the blessings he has bestowed upon me in the good times and know that every good thing comes from above. It's in the hard times that I reminded that he carries me through them and brings me out on the other side unscathed. Thank you Lord for always coming through, you never let me down and my heart is happy for that reason. You have grace enough for even me!

My Family. I don't always spend the amount of time with my family that I should. This is typically the season and the time of year that we see one another the most. Although we all live in the same town, life has it's way of taking over. Around the holidays I am always overjoyed and completely in love with the thought of everyone being under one roof. It just feels right and I love them so! They love me no matter what and always have my back, for that I will always be grateful. This year we've had some rough times with my grandmother (you've heard me write about them here on this blog). Through this I have learned even more on the importance of family and plan to spend this year in a different spirit... soaking in every moment we have together!

My Friends. I have some of the best friend in the entire world. They are a little crazy but that's how I like em'. My friends have always believed in me, encouraged me and helped to shape me into the person I have become (this includes my family too of course). I'm not the perfect friend, I don't think anyone is... but these are my people, they know my heart and I am honored to have them in my life.

My Staff & Business. This has been a HUGE year for MHP. I'll share our completed goals list with you at the end of this year and you'll probably be as blown away as I am at what we have accomplished - my team always amazes me and I am so blessed to have such dedicated employees. They have cried with me this year, laughed with me and run with my vision. They have given me more of their time and effort then I deserve and I consider myself blessed to have them in my life. We have also had some pretty sweet clients this year and have a lot to be grateful for in next year's clients... I could go on and on.

My New Studio. I've had the most awesome opportunity to purchase a home this year and turn it into a cozy little place my staff and I can call home. It's been loads of fun to watch this little bungalow turn into something that truly expresses my character and style. I am loving the creative release that comes with having your own place to deck out!

The Opportunity to Learn & Grow. This year more than ever I've learned that I can't always be perfect. I expect perfection from myself many times, I'm pretty hard on myself when I screw up. I've had to learn to do the best I can with what I've been given and turn each moment into a learning experience. I'm thankful for the opportunity to find a lesson in everything and to grow. I'm just an ordinary girl doing things I never thought possible of myself to do.

I'll leave you with some images I took of my nephew, Gavin, last week. He was really hamming it up for the camera! I've never seen him do that before but he just kept smiling, posing and telling me to keep taking photos!

So tell me... what are you thankful for this season?
