Gratitude

Hello!  I hope that this post finds everyone well and in good spirits!  I was just sitting here thinking about things.  This is going to be a post about gratitude.  I hope that all of you have things that you are grateful for.

I am so grateful for the opportunity we have to do what we love to do.  I am grateful for the fact that we have clients.  I am grateful for the fact that we have been able to help our clients and answer their questions.  I am sooooooo grateful for my husband who shares my interests and loves me and accepts me for who I am.

                There are going to be days when this is what I post about because I think it is so very important to be grateful for what we have been given.  Our family, our friends, our jobs, our homes … the food on our tables … for a blanket when the nights are chilled.   But even more than that.  For the experiences that this life has to offer all of us.  For the beauty of our Earth … the beauty of nature.  The spectacular plant life we find all around us.  For the spirits of the trees.  For sunrises … for sunsets … for flowers … for vegetable gardens!  For healing herbs and soothing scents.  For bubbling brooks and waterfalls. 

                I am grateful for the fact that I get to live next to the Mississippi River … to see the water birds … to see the beautiful bald eagles soaring above me.  For wild flowers in the woods and in the pastures.  For the woods that offer a place of serenity and peace to sit and ponder life.  For the sounds that are there if we take the time to just sit and listen.  For the way it feels to sit on a fallen tree.  For the ability to watch for and stay out of the poison ivy!  (Seriously) 

                I am grateful for my pets who are so in tune with my moods and feelings.  Who lay beside me and at my feet to comfort me when I am not feeling well or I’m scared.  I always feel safe when they are around me. 

                I am thankful for all of our experiences … good and bad … because they are what make us stronger and more experienced.  They make us better … a better person … better at what we do … and better able to handle what comes next. 

                I am thankful for you, who came to visit our blog and I am looking forward to what is to come.

                Have a blessed day!
