Possibilities

Grateful for prayer through music. Grateful for our  souls, that thing that have the capacity to express, and experience things out of our imagination. Grateful for the ability to discover new feelings within me.

Grateful for things that get me out of comfort zone every morning :

Cold showers in cold weather.

HiiT workout directly after waking up.

Organizing my bed and washing my teeth .

Preparing my breakfast.

Grateful for knowing that my imperfections makes me unique and special, and all I have to do  is to liberate my perfections by accepting and loving my  imperfections.

Grateful for the generous heart of friends, who send me expressing their appreciation of what I write.

Grateful for the possibilities I have in my life. Grateful for the possibility to have a new job. Grateful for the possibility to have a new career, which will create a wide broad of possibilities. Grateful for the possibility to have a significant other. Grateful for the possibility to make new friends. Grateful for the possibility to travel to new places. Grateful for the possibility to change, and get better.

Reflections

Pondering everything and being filled with wonder. Ponderful and wonderful.

My car running and reliable. I take her for granted! Even begrudge spending money when things need fixed. Grateful!

Shopping for those less fortunate. I love how the universe leads me to what I need. Budget always stretches to help provide.

Starting my amaryllis plants early this year. In the dark and drear of Winter they will bloom and remind me of Spring.

Grateful for my simple life and thankful to those who accompany me.

Happy Thanksgiving. Reflect today and enumerate tomorrow.

Rainy Day

Would love to stay in and observe the rain but we have errands. Grateful in advance for when they are done.

So lucky to have many grocery stores near by but I’m not hopping from store to store to save a few bucks.

Many thanks to Mike of Mike’s Place for donating some food for the dinner on Sunday.

Don’t mind picking it up though always say a prayer for safe travels.

Savoring the grateful holiday before jumping into Christmas.

Dinner on Thanksgiving with Hubby. Dessert with some of the offspring.

Perfect day to be reading. Finished book for Zoom book club Monday night. Will reread for detail.

The Earth needed the rain and I will not begrudge it some!

Gobble Gobble

Thanksgiving! The grateful holiday. We pause to reflect on blessings then chow down!

Thanksgiving! Picturing the feast and traditional foods  makes me drool like Pavlov’s dogs.

Even more exciting it just might be that my youngest and their wife will be part of Thanksgiving plans.

Meal giveaway weekend. Providing a Thanksgiving meal to anyone who drives up. Grateful to people from Church who are roasting 14 turkeys. Grateful for kitchen helpers and runners.

Grateful to Ann who thinks cranberries are important enough to make a trip out to have them for meal.

Thank you Mike for your expertise to figure out how many potato buds you need to feed 150. (And donating them)

Today I’m eating out both breakfast and lunch. Blessed not to have to choose!

Anticipation!

Impressive

When  a fellow poster comments on every gratitude post. Wow! Thanks Karen

A sold out event at hall I usher at. I sat outside in lobby and enjoyed the quiet time. A great time was had by all!

Warm enough to finish the hiking spree today. 8 trails earns us a medallion for the hiking staff.

Frosty nights but we are warm. New windows paying off.

Was aiming at 69 birthday wishes but being included in Church announcement I exceeded that. Thanks everyone!

The marvel of face to face conversations on the phone. Texting is a marvel too.

Busy day but fitting it all in. Two invitations to eat out tomorrow and I’m going to both.

Giving time approaches. I have adopted a couple kids to shop for through Church Christmas giveaway. Exciting to shop for kids.

All around us are impressive things. Be impressed!
