A Year of Gratitude

So grateful for fun with family, dancing and singing with kids, a beautiful day to take the family to the Harbor and purple "paw" mittens (for me, not the kids I might add). I'm so grateful that after going back and forth, Deb brought down her Mom's piano. We've had so much fun gathering around and singing. Even though we've had a piano for years, there is something about this piano that has inspired more playing and more people to gather around it. Perhaps it is the spirit of this piano. Three generations and now four have gathered around this baby grand and enjoyed singing together. Such a wonderful way to spend time. 

A Year of Gratitude

I am simply overwhelmed by all there is to be grateful for. I could probabaly list 100 things though I'm not sure you really want to hear all that. So here's a few of the big ones and a few small ones thrown in!!

I'm surrounded by loving, funny, caring, sensitive, acknowledging and spirited people. My family, friends, coworkers, seniors and even strangers inspire me every day.  I have a life full of love, abundance, health, vitality, humor, curiosity, adventure, learning and growth. I know that I have all of these things. I know that the quickest way out of any negative situation is to focus on all that I'm grateful for. I live in a world of heat, ac, indoor plumbing, Facebook, downloadable music, fresh water, ethnic food, libraries and infinite possibilities. I love being here and am so grateful I was blessed with life on earth in this place and time.  

Happy Thanksgiving Eve Everyone!!

A Year of Gratitude

I'm grateful for all that I have to be grateful for. I'm grateful that so many of us are thinknig about what we are grateful for this week. May we all remember to be grateful everyday. So many of us could easily come up with dozens if not hundreds of things to be grateful for. Isn't that amazing?

I'm grateful for a fun weekend. Nights out with our bestest buddies, Jersey Boys, great weather, yard work (by us and others), appreciation for beauty, our health, good times and good luck. I just have sooooo much to be grateful for.

I'm grateful for warm liquids on cold days, polar fleece, the anticipation of snow, popcorn and catalogs full of interesting stuff. 

A Year of Gratitude

I'm grateful for all of the professionals out there that know more than I do and can help me with all kinds of projects. Isn't it great that people specialize in gardening, landscaping, medicine, finances, mental health, technology, writing, home improvement and so much more? The list just goes on and on. I'm grateful for your services and I'm grateful I can afford to use them!

A Year of Gratitude

I'm grateful for a day of getting things done around the house. No, it's not always the way I want to spend a day, but it feels so good when it is done. Some people say order is the key to happiness, energy, clear thinking, productivity, etc. Maybe I can keep at it and see what happens. 

I'm also grateful to perform with the Showtime Singers for residents of Vantage House. Always an honor.
