Gratitude

Today, I was reminded by several different things, just how very blessed I am, and how we all tend to take so many things for granted- things that could impact our lives in a major way if they were different. I found myself wondering if I would handle those things with the dignity and grace that I see others handling them with, and I honestly don’t know. I’d like to think that I would, but I do believe that until you walk in someones shoes, or are finding yourself in a similar position, you never really know.

I was reminded that EVERYTHING in life counts- every moment, every thought, every single action- what we do with what we are given Matters.

I would love to know what YOU are grateful for in your own life- EVERYONE has something to be grateful for, even those who doubt aren’t looking hard enough.

My Gratitude List for May 15, 2009.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  • My Eyesight- which allows me to see.
  • An umbrella to keep me dry when it’s raining.
  • Color
  • Glucosamine, which hopefully is helping my knee heal.
  • Soft falling rain, without wind.

Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on my Head

It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring….. .

Guess what kind of weather we’re having today? Yep, you guessed it- rain! I actually don’t mind, since with the rains the winds have died down and I was able to get out today for lunch with friends and actually use an umbrella.

My knee was bothering me a little by the time we were winding up the walking for today, but we walked, walked and walked some more. I figure who needs fat burner pills, when you get as much walking in as we did today.

Right now, I’m enjoying the silence, and am considering spending some time outside on the porch, enjoying the rain, without having to get wet. Listening to the sound of falling rain is one of my favorite things, and I could couple that with a huge cup of coffee (I bought two new types today while I was out for lunch), and some letter writing. Sounds perfect to me.

What’s your favorite rainy-day activity?
