I've been having a bit of a unexpectedly cranky weekend. I kept telling myself to get it together and do something creative, but no such luck. My house is currently a disaster zone, and it seems like everywhere I look, I have to do some cleaning before I can do anything fun.
So, instead of cleaning, do you know what I'm doing? Pin-crastinating. I'm telling myself that by looking at positive, inspiring pins, that I am doing something productive (which sounds irrational, I know). So here are some of the best ones I've found to kick off your week (one for each of the seven days):
1. Gratitude.
Mr. Roger's Lifetime Achievement Award. Did any of you watch Mr. Roger's Neighborhood when you were growing up? I lived for that fellow's show. And this speech is, in my opinion, really touching and wonderful.

2. Perspective.
When life gives you lemons...add a dinosaur.

6. Intellect.
Are you a fan of TED talks? Thank you to Pinterest for bringing me to this list of 15 TED Talks to change your life. I haven't gotten through all of them yet, but the ones that I have watched are pretty great!

7. Friendship.
I'm spending some extra time thinking about how wonderful the people in my life are. I hope you have a number of people to be thankful for also!

I sure hope some (or all) of these made you smile and feel the warm fuzzies like they made me feel. I'm already feeling a bit more optimistic about cleaning all night the rest of my evening.
Much positivity and appreciation to all of you readers!
xox,
Rachel
BONUS:
C'mon, don't cute and funny animals always make you feel a little better too?
I love animal shaming. Mostly because I've had animals who made me hopping mad, and rather than being mean or upset at them non-stop, shaming them for the internet to see seems like a much more peaceful type of "pay-back".

The Pinterest caption on this next one is "If not made for sits, then why does it fits?" I'm crying with laughter right now.
