Can’t sleep

I woke up a little after 5 a.m as if it was time to do something. Perfect opportunity to turn to gratitude.

A friend posted on Facebook how wonderful she felt and how she felt so grateful to be alive and part of the plan. Her friends turned on her,ridiculed her and made it a joke. I was incensed everyone should have the right to be grateful and not apologize for it.So I’m grateful for Anne who though she is struggling thinks life is incredible. (It is!)

Choir party last night. Good food,good friends. Perfect evening to be out watching the little ones play! We raise our voice in song and though this one is difficult with four part harmony I love being part of the group.

A line from the hymn” for all all who borrow life from Thee lift up your voice in prayer for everywhere that  we can be You are there” Where is God? In us,in you as well as around us.

Going to Cornerstone to buy a plant this afternoon. It is wonderful to see the outpouring of love.

Grateful for air conditioners. I was moving stuff in our “Black Hole” room. Too much stuff!

The blog Crystal posted resonated with me. Everything you own owns you! Simplify!

Hubby is working so hard everyday to make our little shack look better! Yesterday he poured cement and set posts for a porch rail.

Doctor pronounced my eyes healed. Over a year I had inflammation. He’ll check them in the Fall but thinks I am finally better.

Fill your day with gratitude and love and empty those closets!

  1. I loved your list today. Especially the first two! The second one resonated with me as even when I lost my husband last Fall, I could still things to be grateful for. Thanks for posting this and starting my day off right!

    1. My posts are a little wordy but I let my heart pour out. I will not let someone ridicule someone for expressing gratitude. Keep looking you’ll find gratitude hiding in the most unlikely places.
