If you are down about life, your blog, and just things in general, I invite you to click on the following links. I have read some uplifting blog posts this weekend by some amazing bloggers and wanted to pass them along just in case anyone else needed a fresh perspective to start the week.

Amanda at i am mommy has written a fantastic series called Things Successful Bloggers Do: Big Blogs vs. Small Blogs. Read them all, but pay attention especially to this post. Then, after you’ve fallen in love with her blog, click here and give her a vote.

The Success of Other People Does Not Equal Your Failure by Stephanie at Metropolitan Mama- When it seems like everyone else is surpassing you, keep this post in mind. I’d also like to tip my hat to Stephanie for pointing me to this next post below:

Somebody Wants What You Have by Amy at The Finer Things– This stopped me in my tracks about the grumbling I do over everyday things I take for granted.

Now go forth and have a happy Monday.
