Gratitude

1. God
2. A cloudy day in Central Park
3. The statue of Alice which I’d never been to – knew of it from the inner sleeve of the Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Ladyland, also a picture of Martin Gardner taken there on the back of his edition The Annotated Alice
4. My favorite piece of public art was always the Saint-Gaudens bas-relief of Colonel Shaw’s 54th regiment, on the upper end of Boston Common, but now it’s hard to decide.
5. Alice and the White Rabbit to her left, the Mad Hatter to her right, the dormouse to the near right, the toadstools for seating
6. pictures and conversation
7. soup of the evening (actually we didn’t have any, not even the mock turtle kind)
8. “it’s my own invention”
9. That was really all I could think of that I wanted to see in New York City, though I do love the energy and variety and geography there. Would have liked to have done more shopping or at least browsing, and the stores stay open terribly late. I saw many beautiful dresses in Bergdorf’s including one in coral with a pearl neckline. (The Equestrian is still there, too, at Columbus Circle, on the southern edge of the park.)
10.. What a contrast the next day to visit the Tenement museum and learn from the young guides about the conditions in which people lived and worked (and still do in many places in the world.)
11. Helpful people at the hotel especially the bellman who took care of our car and organized taxis for us.
12. Cassie did most of the driving, which I appreciated since she knew the way.
13. Good to be able to board Peabody with people he knows and trusts.
14. Nice to be greeted at home by affectionate (and hungry) cats.

Grateful for new life

Gratitude

Welcome to the World ,Oliver! You came  a little early but such joy!

When a child is born a Grandma comes into being! Congrats Millie!

We needed a bright spot in the midst of the rocky roads of this Winter

Remembering Zander!

Spring is around the corner.

A Church meeting with laughter and camaraderie.

Lent Taking up not giving up!

Eating better and no soda.

Thinking of my two grand kids today! Steph confident in her new job and Ty being the best eight year old he can be!

 

Brand new day

Gratitude

Ready to head for work when I realize it’s 7:30 not 8:30.

Grateful for the sun.

The way it shines off the snow.

The birds practicing for Spring

Less than a month till Spring

Took down my snowmen and polarbears from Christmas

This year I can decorate with frogs for Leap year

I have pigs out for National Pig Day (March 1st)

Realizing I have a doctor’s appt in March I’ve revamped my eating

“I believe in the sun even when it isn’t shining. I believe in love even when  there’s no one there. And I believe in God even when He is silent”

All You Need Is Love!

Gratitude

Carol saying she wanted to give a wall hanging that said “All you need is Love” for a wedding present.

My daughter getting  one for Valentine’s Day

Aw!  The picture of Crystal’s  family celebrating the beginning of their life together is so precious!

Understanding the crisis of obligation and gratitude. Working toward a grateful heart.

The difference a week can make. Happier and healthier!

Enjoying simple things which make them complex

A Coloring Club! Fun! Hope I can go!

Bought a stuffed pig at Christmas time. Now that I want him couldn’t find him. Looked at the mirror in our living room and it was hanging there.

Have a lovely day!
