We as humans automatically trust many things. We trust that we will wake up each morning for a new day That our bodies will be healthy and work the way we need them to That the tv will turn on when we press power That we will have electricity in our homes That water will come out of the faucet That our cars will start and get us to work ...and that our license plates will be on our cars. You wouldn't think you need to check to see if your plates are on your car, but I'm here to tell you that you might want to. Last week my front license plate was stolen. It either happened while I was at work or during my brief visit at Target. I reported it as soon as I noticed it was gone, and in 24 hours the police called to tell me my plate was used to commit a crime and they had it. I am so grateful to have it back and that I didn't have to get new numbers. Mine is not a vanity plate, but it is a combo of my birthday numbers and my initials.

There are couple's candy hearts, some of my favorite things - ice cream and penguins, some mask designs ("Thank U, Next", "I love you 3000", and Disney love), and of course, a classic "I love myself" sticker!                                                                        If you would like to purchase any of these designs, or check out what else I have, click the link below for my Redbubble page!

Saying "thank you" is such a simple task that means so much. Personally, I try to say it as often as possible. Especially to wait staff at restaurants, even more so now that we are in a pandemic, as well as any and all essential workers currently working harder to help others. But also to the person holding the door for me, the person in the car who lets me take the turn into the road, the mailman for delivering my mail, and the cashier who looks like they may need a smile. When someone thanks me, it makes me feel appreciated or that I said or did something helpful. So I want to make sure I do the same for everyone else. Pay attention the next time you thank a friend, or even a stranger, and see how they react. In this day and age, I feel like we get distracted by the instant gratification and forget to take the moment to say "thank you." But just those two words alone can make a huge difference.
