today I am grateful for.. 1. putting aside my shy self and jumping into situations that if I listened to my ‘crit eek’ I would never have even dreamed of doing. 2. freaky dreams and having someone willing to listen to them 3. being inspired by a friend  to plan a date night for myself. 4.…

    Well… today I am grateful for having a living alarm clock. I slept in, didn’t hear my alarm go off once – my daughter luckily came in and woke me up. I also woke up to a beautiful pre-dawn sky and saw a spectacular sunrise this morning on my way to work. It…

Today I am grateful for: 1. that there were no ants around me when I woke up from a very weird and disturbing dream. 2. that my driveway was still nicely plowed even though they plowed the streets in the night and boxed in the end of the lane with ice and snow. I couldn’t…

today I am grateful for 1.the wind, rain, sleet and snow (and getting to drive in it). I like to drive a lot, and I love my car because it enjoys the winter as much as I do. I enjoy being able to drive through the worst kind of weather and know that when the…

today, I reach out from my center, from my heart, outward, inward and upward, in all directions with loving kindness. For those who are suffering after the passing of a loving and loved brother, for those feeling alone and isolated, for those beginning a new life, a new path, and for myself still grieving and…

I am grateful for moments that allow me to expect miracles. I have to start off today’s post by offering up love, prayers and healing positive thoughts to my friend Stuart Saunders and his brother Craig David Saunders. Craig was in a terrible accident yesterday afternoon and is currently on life support in London, ON…

When I first sat down to write today’s gratitude entry, I came up with a blank. I asked myself, what are you thankful for today. Nothing came. It’s not that I am not grateful, or don’t have things to be grateful for, but in that moment, it was just an empty moment. I have been…

ah day 7, has it already been a week *pinches arm* feels like I have been dreaming again. The days are just flying by it seems – how can it already be a week, let alone the 25th of January. Oiy. Anyway, I suppose that it is better to focus on the task at hand,…
