Thankful Moment No. 2

This morning I was able to wake up and kiss my babies goodbye before school. I am now here at the Y walking on a treadmill with a million things on my mind. Again, realizing I'm focusing on the wrong things. So, time to regroup. I am thankful I was able to swipe my card and there was money there for gas. I even had enough to but a ginger ale.

Thank you for seeing smiling faces so far this morning. Thankful for making it to my destinations safe and warm. And I'm thankful that I am cognizant of my physical and spiritual need.

I'm thankful for my brother receiving a job that fulfills him and with excitement he is preparing for his work day. Today, I will go with the universal flow and constantly remind myself that things ARE. And I'm happy to BE.

Thank You Moment No. 1

I am inspired by the recent events at Columbia Mall this weekend.  Three teenagers lost their lives due to a murder/suicide.  I am praying for those young people and I hope their spirits find peace and rest.  I also pray that our youth are able to learn how to find the beauty in the life we all live everyday.  

I am thankful right this moment, for being able to sit on my living room couch with access to the internet and the ability to type that I am thankful for my teenage son who stands in my kitchen to the right of me, giggling.  He is supposed to be washing dishes, but something has made him laugh. 

I am thankful for the lights on our Christmas tree that I still turn on every night.  They are brilliant and our tree was decorated beautifully by my children.

I am thankful for my children.  They are smart, polite, kind and loving.  They are intuitive and asks me if I'm ok, even when I believe I am.

I am thankful for our home, having electricity and heat, being able to cook a great dinner for my family and a husband that is home with us tonight.
