In the spirit of International “Thank You” Week - and the desire to keep blogging more often, I’d like to share with you these things that I’m thankful for this week. I know I could probably make this list a bit longer. But, I’m quite fond of the number 10 when it comes to lists. So, here you go —
1) Great ideas like: Drawing Day (mark the date: 7th June) and Good Tree.
2) People who take the time to thank and comfort others. Generosity. And Gratitude.
3) Great food; family meals at home (no matter how chaotic!).
4) Online friends and community; “real life” friends… for supporting me in many special, unexpected ways.
5) Feeling inspired by folks like Sandra Magsamen, Lauren Child, and Keri Smith.
6) Finding some time to read books, do a bit of “proper writing”, a little art-making, and plenty of dreamstorming.
7) My work, which is a great way to learn, grow, and feel blessed.
8 ) My husband, who takes care of a lot of things that I’m not too fond of doing - bills, taxes, and all sorts of other stuff.
9) My kids, who make me laugh and feel overwhelmed with love and pride - everyday.
10) The Beauty of Now. The Treasure of Yesterday. The Promise of Tomorrow.
What are you thankful for this week? And, have you already thanked someone lately?
Stumble This!

Write a Comment»I really needed to read this today. No, I haven’t thanked someone lately. But right now I am thanking you.
Sometimes in life I get so bogged down in the minutiae, I don’t see the bigger picture of how truly blessed I really am.
Off to kiss a child, even if I have to wake them to do so
