Today I’ve found myself thinking a lot about my grandmother. It would have been her birthday today, if she had not passed away in 2001. Sometimes I go weeks without thinking of her, and other times I think of her days on end. I miss her. I also miss Carol. In fact – I miss many people.
I’m still grateful- I’m grateful for the opportunity to have had these people in my life and to have had the chance to love them.
Gratitude List for October 15, 2010.
Today I’m Grateful For:
- The dark, rainy day, which made it easy to stay inside and work.
- Cooler weather, which means I can snuggle up under a blanket and my favorite mug filled with coffee.
- The love of family and friends- for which I’m so blessed to have.
- Seeing some things for what they are, and learning that some things need to be let go.
- The raise that Marcel got yesterday.
As you know I have immense trouble “letting go” of anyone I love, so I so understand how you feel. Sometimes I have the voices of those who have left me “talking” to me quietly. They accompany me although they are now unseen and their wisdom and love lives on in me. I am sure your gran loves you as much as you love her, still and always.
