ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE
Brought to you by
ROSES
I love this photo of roses all crammed together. Different colors, randomly placed, all sitting together sharing their beauty with the world. I think they are like my friends. Similar and different. All beautiful..... of course, some of my friends are more like Daisies ..... and others are Petunias ...... Wow! think how awesome that photo would be with even more varieties of flowers! .... so much for my great analogy...... lol
I've been thinking a lot about this ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE life.... I think it's how I was raised. I can remember my mother telling me (in response to a comment about not liking something that was for dinner), "You will eat it and be thankful for it." The message: look at the positive, there is food to eat. And eating something you don't like is way better than starving.
Today I am thankful for
* Friends: Last night I had a dream about a friend. she lives on the west coast. In my dream she was seated in the middle of a table surrounded by people deep in conversation. She was smiling and nodding and laughing. She likes to do all those things. She sees me and calls me over, she has someone she wants me to meet. She believes that SAORI may be what this person is looking for in their life. She has been listening to them...hearing more than the words that they say. She is good at that too. Thank you Sam for your listening skills.
* The Birds that greet the morning sun with
their song. Even on a day when I can sleep-in, their song comforts me. ... mostly. The Wren can be a bit boisterous in its song. But that is ok. Maybe we should take a lesson from the Wren. Sing our song loudly.
* Laundry: Do not miss understand.... I don't actually like doing laundry. But the fact that I have to do laundry means that I have more clothing than just those I am currently wearing. And when the laundry is done, it means I have more choices in what to wear tomorrow.
* A day to Sleep-In. Actually it has been 2 days. Hanley gently insisted, "You aren't setting an alarm are you?" ..... well, ugh, no..... of course not! lol Two mornings of sleeping until my body said it was time to get up. Tomorrow is another story.
* SAORI I have said it before. SAORI has brought so many wonderful people into my life, has allowed me to go places I had only dreamed of, and makes my heart sing.
* and Coffee the world is so much better with coffee.
