New Beginnings

Filed under: Gratitude,Home,Life — gardener @ 9:16 am

It’s the last day of my birthday month and I’ve spent most of the day so far in total relaxation. I think I’ve needed the time to just do ‘nothing’ (although nothing did consist of me doing some cleaning in the kitchen and several loads of laundry) since July has been such a busy month.

I’ve celebrated all month, had some great moments with friends, but now it’s time to return to reality. That means new chapters and beginnings, plus getting back to a regular exercise and eating routine. I’ve been lax for far too long and it’s time to ‘get with the program’.

There is much to look forward to in August- but right now I still have a little time left in today- so I’d like to share a few things that I’m grateful for- on this last day of July.

I’m Grateful For:

  • A day of quiet and solitude, allowing me to gather my thoughts and ideas for the coming weeks.
  • Leftover shrimp and seaweed salad- which will be part of my dinner tonight.
  • Looking around at those I truly call friends and knowing just how blessed Iam.
  • Those who offer me love, support and truth- and knowing that I can always count on that.
  • Simple things- JJ barking at a watermelon and trying to play with it-   Mister M. purring at me in the mornings and wanting to be petted.

Precious Moments

The end of my birthday month- It’s hard to believe a month of celebrating has come and gone. Now there are other things to plan- such as vacations with my mom and dad and birthday’s of people I love and adore. Before I know it- Christmas will be come and gone and I have a dear friend who will be looking at first birthday invitations for her little girl who will turn one early next year. It seems that time flies- in the blink of an eye. I often wonder where it all goes, which is why I think it is important to make the most of every, single moment. After all they are each and every one precious.
