Gratitude

I share my daily gratitude’s on Facebook, but I don’t always think to share them here, but today I’m doing just that.

If you want to exponentially change your life- take the time to notice a few things in your life daily that you’re grateful for. It doesn’t mean that your life will be perfect, but what it does mean is that with a changed perspective, life can change. So without further adieu: Today’s bits of gratitude.

1- Sunny days with a cool breeze.

2- Time spent with friends.

3- Fresh nectarines.

4- The importance of contrast.

5- Late birthday celebrations.

Birthdays and Beyond

My 47th birthday came and went. You know what I felt? LOVE. Granted, I feel love every-single-day, but for some reason, this year I really felt it to a greater degree.

Marcel surprised me with a wonderful dinner at a restaurant we haven’t been to in several years. It’s situated right on the lake, and the weather was perfect, which allowed for us to eat outside on the terrace.

I asked Marcel not to give me a gift- since it’s our year to go for vacation, and truth is- I don’t have anything I ‘need’. I was happy that he actually listened, and that dinner and the huge bouquet of sunflowers he gave me at midnight to start my birthday were gift enough. We were together, we were happy and healthy- what else could a girl want?

Today I spent the afternoon with two good friends- in a late birthday celebration. I hadn’t seen either of them in quite some time, so it was great to be able to catch up and just enjoy their company.

I’m grateful for the people in my life- and also knowing that there is nothing but more blessings coming my way in this new year of my life.
