Getting Back to Gratitude

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 11:12 am

Earlier today I posted on my Facebook that I wanted to get back to being more conscious and aware of the things surrounding me that I have to be grateful for.   For those of you who have been reading this space for any length of time- you know that I occasionally do post my gratitude posts, but they have been few and too far between.  It isn’t that I’m not grateful on the days I don’t share something- because I am- but I want to be more conscious and aware- so by focusing on five things each day that I’m grateful for- I will be more aware to my surroundings and all the little blessings life has to offer.

Today I’m grateful for:

    1.  The absolutely gorgeous weather we are having.
    2.  Fantastic service at Sligro (a SAMs Club type store)
    3.  The sound of the wind in the trees and that of my little outdoor fountain.
    4.  Feeling joyous about the ‘little’ things- like colorful flowers and great service.
     5.  Gallon people whom I’m so proud and honored to share the journey with. (Thank you Bishop T.D. Jakes)

Let’s Party

I’m finally feeling somewhat better than I have been in quite some time. I’m still not 100% but I know that I’m well on my way and that makes me happy. I was talking with a good friend yesterday about all the great plans happening this summer and I’m excited about them all.

Not only am I hosting several parties, but I’m also going to be attending quite a few, along with several other fun outtings with great, great people. I don’t know about you, but there is something energizing about being around people who are positive and fun- it fills my soul with joy!

Today, we finished doing all the flower planting- got the fountain running and I’m sitting outside right this moment and thinking about Globe String Lights Outdoor and how great they would be for evening entertaining. One thing I would love to find is a huge old tin tub or maybe even a huge flower pot to fill with ice and put beverages in to keep them cold. Yes indeed- I’m ready to get these festivities started.. and the planning has already started.
