Someone took the time to write and  say I haven’t seen a gratitude list in a long time-so here you go!

I resigned from a committee at Church because life is overwhelming and people asked why-thank you!

I apologize and other says me too. Clears the air like a snowplow. Way to go!

An early morning phone call that leads to an outpouring of love! Ask and there you go!

Puppy love not simple but unconditional. I learn so much from my dog. Our Gogo!

Sunshine on unbelievable piles of snow. Be careful as you go.

Gratitude is a way of life. I never stopped but expressing it will make it grow. Here we go!

Grateful to those who came before what they taught me what they gave.

Grateful to veterans and those serving in the military. So much for us because of them.

Grateful to those who walk beside me. The encouragers and the companions.

My personal legacy and shared goals.

Beautiful Fall days breath taking and more appreciated because they are a gift.

Journaling that leads me and answers questions. An answer in a class I’m taking.

As I plan my week I define what I will accomplish. Guide me saints to fulfill my legacy.

New month! Hurray! October is kind of a blur! I was sick. I was diagnosed and slowly got better. I slept!

I began to love my quiet days and reluctantly I eased back into responsibility. One week I had nothing but pajamas to wash.

Now I’m ready for new things. Following the advice of Julia Cameron and her Listening Path. What do I hear and how do I respond?

Meeting by phone to exchange wisdom. First we had to exchange pictures. Amazing technology.

Mozart is on in the background. A suggestion in Chapter One. Curious mind wants to know more about him.

The universe is whispering. I journal to make room for its wisdom. I plan an adventure and something silly.

Four years ago I celebrated Day Of The Dead because my sister had died. Now it is part of my holiday list. This time of the year the veil is thin. The spirits visit me in my dreams.

Welcome November.

Warm socks and sweatshirts.Layers for warmth. Clean pajamas.

Hot soup and leftovers.Toast.

Naps and reading and vice versa.

Those who wonder how we are. Waiting and wondering. No wandering.

The world is turning without me.  Grateful and thankful.Blessed.

I’m grateful for baskets of laundry they haven’t been put away!(the clean smell)

And dirty laundry to sleep on in piles everywhere!(My owners odor)

I‘m thankful they haven’t forgotten to feed me.Or  empty the litter box.

Warm humans to nap next to.Early bedtime and sleeping in.

Laps for naps.Get well soon but keep the laps and naps.

The sun has coaxed out more morning glories mostly blue but one is a lovely purple.

As the temperature drops each night I treasure each blossom. Soon they will be a memory.

Finishing my isolation but waiting to get an internal sign that I’m ready to resume my normal activities.

I keep my robe on. It reminds me I am not quite there. Rest a while longer.

Praying and prayers for those sick,anxious or grieving. May memories comfort them. Time will heal.

Grateful my traveling family are safe and having fun. Making memories and sharing a pic now and then.

The sun is beckoning me out to count the blooms. Sweet memory!

A friend is getting tested -be negative!

We are getting better- shifting to negative.

No appetite to speak of. I have to remind myself to eat!

My friends keep cheering me up.  No negativity allowed.

Things people wouldn’t understand make me laugh.

In this week of stress there has been a lot to be negative about.

As I remember two negatives make a positive. I will take the negatives and try to be positive.

God is in control!

Sunshine and slippers.

Hubby and healing.

My tribe and the crew making things happen,

Carol who checks on me everyday. Prayers and positive vibes fill my soul.

Messages and music.Texting and trust,

Consolation and being consoled.

I am cherished and overwhelmed with caring.

Pushes .nudges demands and pleas that help you rethink things.

Grateful that my daughter shopped patiently for us.A full freezer and more food than we could possibly eat in a week.

Listening but making your own choice.Friends who agree with you.Follow your instincts.

A text message that makes you smile. Ups and downs of social media.

Many prayers and well wishes offered. One friend brought us dinner. Very thoughtful!

Seeing the sunshine when storms are predicted We will be all right.Be positive!

I  can’t believe the test result says positive but immediately I’m grateful that I went to get tested.

I’m grateful I picked up a rapid test just in case. Yes Hubby is + too.

I’m glad my cold has kept me away from most things I would have been doing.

I’m grateful my friend I visited is not ill.

I’m amazed as I am watching people step up to fill the responsibilities we must hand over while we quarantine.

Thankful for the vaccines that will protect us from the worst.

Grateful for Hubbys Dr who called prescriptions in and gave his cell phone #.

All day the phone has rung. We are feeling ok and positive that positive will be a story to tell.
