Gratitude...

You may have received this published post before I was ready, sometimes that happens...please read this updated version...

There is nothing more important than being thankful for what life brings to you...appreciation for all that is good results in more good...gratitude multiplies!

Today, as every day, I have many things to be grateful for.  I had errands to run, and happened upon a couple things that got me to thinking...

...the flowers above were growing along the roadside...they were a bright and beautiful display of summer and everything that comes with it...

...I also spotted this Badger in the parking lot of one of my stops...he was scrounging for nibbles I suppose...

...it made me grateful that I don't have to scrounge for anything.  The more I thought about things, the more I realized how fortunate I truly am...


~I'm grateful for Johny, my husband and Mountain Man, who provides for us...

~I'm grateful for my siblings...we all still mourn our brother Marc, but we are closer as a result of his passing...


~I'm grateful for my daughters...whom have grown into incredible women who make me proud and filled with joy, they are beautiful young women...

~I'm grateful for my grandson...he makes me laugh and love without reserve and he is a light in my life...

~I'm grateful for my good friends...I can confide the most intimate and/or ridiculous things and they love me just the same...

~I'm grateful for my life here at the cabin...surrounded by woods, the creek, the mountains, the change of seasons...I can't imagine anything else...

~I'm grateful for our place on the river...can there be anything better than to enjoy such a diversity of living environments?...

~I'm grateful for you, my friends through blogging, for your comments, your support, your enthusiasm, and your own posts...you bring joy to my days...

~I'm grateful for my dad...he's been mother and father for over 26 years, and has been superb at it! He's a special person and has a special partner in Donald, whom I'm grateful for as well.  Today is dad's birthday...Happy Birthday Dad!  I love you more than words can say!
