Counting My Blessings

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 11:46 am

It has been a busy few days and tomorow promises to be an even busier one, which means I am going to head to bed early tonight and be up earlier tomorrow.   I’ve been thinking a lot lately-  (being sick gives you a lot of time for that) and as I mentioned in a previous post- I’m really feeling blessed.   It doesn’t mean I don’t have my days-  (today was one of ‘those’ days where everything seems to go wrong), but even now as I sit here and reflect, there is so much more that went well.

So as I wind down this day and think about all the things that remain on my weekend ‘to do’ list- I’m counting my blessings for all the things I was able to cross off that list.   I’m focusing on what I’ve done- and not what’s left to do.

My Gratitude List for April 27, 2012.

Today I’m Grateful For:

  1. The power of changing my vision-  Just because things don’t turn out the way I had envisioned doesn’t mean that they won’t turn out.  Sometimes we just have to stop- regroup and a new vision appears which is much better than the first.
  2. I can’t say it enough how grateful I am for the power of real friendship.   Those who encourage, inspire and are there for you- through thick and thin.   My sister friends-  Whatever would I do without you?
  3. My sofa- because right now there is no place I’d rather be.
  4. Beautiful blue skies, fluffy white clouds and new growth on the trees.
  5. Love-   Without it- where would we be?

Little Piece of Home

Filed under: Things I Love — gardener @ 8:49 am

I love it when mom and dad send me pictures while they are out and about in their yard- working or even just walking around. Today diddy sent me some pictures of the hybrid blackberries he’d just picked and a few days ago mom sent me a picture of their new compost spin composter. I know for some people it may seem like little things- or even the mundane- but for me- it’s a little piece of home- and I love it.
