I’m grateful

Every morning, I try to write notes to myself – a writer’s mind-cleaning exercise.

This morning, I reminded myself that I was grateful.

Grateful for having met Mayo.
Grateful for good friends the W’s
Grateful for waking up this morning feeling better
Grateful for having an imagination
Grateful for being able to garden today
Grateful for being able to fill more than a page of my notebook with things I’m grateful for. A very long list.

A wonderful way to remind myself what a great life I have.

Have you reminded yourself lately?

    This came at a good time for me. I’ve just been diagnosed with early stage I breast cancer. This weekend I’ll be planting my seedlings in the garden. I’m grateful.

    Thank you, Doug. And Thank You, Anon. I needed the Reminders. My problems just shrank to nothing.

    I think you covered most of the bases and I’m grateful for that.
    When you think about it. As long as you have your family ,friends, and good health you really don’t need much more. All the rest is iceing on the cake

    As one of the W’s, we very much appreciate the friendship, “a rat”!

    This will seem rather pedantic after the previous posts, but I’m grateful for my barn. I planted 17 pots yesterday and was able to do it with lots of room to maneuver and out of the wind.
