Portrait of a Happy Girl With a Little Message

These photos were taken at The Meeting Bar & Restaurant. As I was waiting for my food to be prepared, I was watching the rain and enjoying the cooler weather (even though still hot), it came as much needed refreshment. I also got this dashiki, it was so nice to wear something colorful on a gloomy day.

It was just one of those days when I felt happy, blessed, full of joy and extremely grateful.

Every now and then, I have a bad day (or two) when my head is full of negative thoughts and in most cases, for no reason at all. My mind just decides to pick out every single thing, big or small, and put it in a negative context, all my insecurities and doubts come outside. Not good enough, not pretty enough, not successful enough...

So it takes some effort and positive thinking to chase those bad thoughts. Looking back at all the great moments in my life, thinking of the most important people in my life, being grateful, do something to make me feel better like putting on a face mask or doing my makeup, go outside and feel the sunshine...

And same as bad days, I also have those very happy for no reason days. Those are my favorite! You just wake up feeling good, you can't stop smiling and realizing how blessed you are and as the day goes by, you express gratitude for every little thing. You're filled with positive emotions and thoughts and nothing can ruin your day! :)
