“Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have.”
—Kristen Hewitt
Although I think a lot about how truly grateful I am for the many blessings in my life, most days, as of late, have been overshadowed by negative thoughts and speech. My complaining and negativity is much louder and more pronounced than the part of me that is truly grateful for all the good. I have to remind myself daily, and sometimes hourly, that even in the bad parts of life, more often than not, there is an abundance of good.
For the month of May I am challenging myself to seek the good daily and write about it. What am I grateful for? What or whom do I appreciate? What miracles have I witnessed? What kindness have I seen or bestowed on someone else? And on and on. If you have been feeling like a Debbie Downer lately such as I have, please consider coming along on this adventure.
The first blog entry will be available shortly. Stay tuned.

Hello, everybody! Welcome to Live the Life You Imagined!
I'm Maria and I'm on a journey of living a life I imagined, dreamed and deserve, and you're more than welcome to come along with me.
Some interesting fun facts about me:
- I'm an INFJ, HSP, Pisces...triple whammy (oh and a middle child...how am I still functioning? LOL)
- I walk.....a lot.
- I sing because I can. ;)
- I enjoy solving problems when creating documents. It's so much fun for me to take a messy document and create something beautiful and professional.
- I've worked at a law firm for over 20 years (no I'm not a lawyer) and every day I learn something new.
- I love reading...something I want to start making time for again.
- I love writing, hence this blog, but I used to write short stories and poetry...need to get back to that.
- I LOVE water...being by it, in it, seeing it...it just calms my spirit.
There`s so much more to tell, but you`ll just have to stay tuned for more...
