It's easy to be grateful when we're dipping our toes in ocean water with white gulls crying over head. But are we grateful when we're carefully watching our steps on slippery sidewalks, or shoveling snow ~ again? I'm learning ~ slowly learning, to give thanks in all things. What are you grateful for today? ~ Today I am especially grateful for all those who so faithfully come by to visit and for your kind comments.

Today I'm grateful for many things, one of them being this wonderful blogging community that we are a part of! Have a wonderful weekend!; February 7, 2013 at 5:17 PM

I had found that I often had negative thoughts when I woke up--not sure why this is--perhaps it is a time of day when I am at my weakest? So this has helped so much to start my day this way. I am grateful for slow mornings that are not usually rushed!; February 7, 2013 at 11:14 PM
