Today I’m thankful for normal. My Mom always said that boring was good. I could never quite get there. Boring is… well… it’s boring. Not sure if she always felt that way, I can’t remember having those conversations in younger days. Today I feel that it’s wisdom that comes with more time on earth. Still […]
Thankful for WNY
With each natural disaster, most recently the record-breaking Harvey, I am more thankful for where we choose to call home. First and foremost, my heart, and prayers are with everyone, human & not, effected by this disaster. I can’t even imagine the devastation. Mother Nature does her thing, we have no control. We just have […]
Thankful for Pain
What??!!??!! Hear me out… To live an adventurous life takes a certain amount of pain tolerance. Physical or mental. Something that sends your head into gyrations can be the same as running your first (or fiftieth) mile. A wise man once shared the quote “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyways.” It was… and is […]
Thankful for Time
TGIF…. On this almost sunny Friday the 13th, I’m thankful for time. They say that time heals all things… I’m not sure about all but I agree with many, definitely many. It’s in the passing of time, the beliefs, attitudes, treatments and choices; yeah… that may be the healing magic. That’s what I believe. This past […]
Thankful for… Friday the 13th
So what is it about Friday the 13th? What causes people to be superstitious, love some numbers and dates and not so much others? I don’t know… but people do just that, including me. 🙂 Friday the 13th has always been a positive day. Good things typically happen on this day of superstition… well at […]
Thankful for the Peace of Snowfall
After our foot of the white stuff on Monday morning, today I’m thankful for the Peace of Snowfall. There are a few runs at our local ski spot that are lined with tall evergreen trees. We usually finish the night with these runs because if there has been any snowfall, they’re beautiful and peaceful. It’s […]
Thankful for…
Every day I spend some time considering my blessings and my challenges. Some weeks both are easy, other weeks both are hard. Isn’t life just like that? I keep at it though. It keeps things in perspective and priorities in focus. Some days get so busy it’s hard to even remember. Some weeks are that […]
Thankful for Cheerleaders
Cheerleaders? Yup, you know.. those people in your corner no matter what. Those people you can count on when the chips are down. The ones who will support you no matter what, in the best of times and the worst of times. The people who will risk things to disagree with you and ask what […]
The flower that blooms after the thunderstorm
This week I’m thankful for… the flower that blooms after the thunderstorm. I love doing TGIF posts. Gratitude is a powerful force in my life. Among the gifts of gratitude is getting your (Ok, my) head in the right place… Challenges are really just tests, be they small or large. The flower that blooms after the thunderstorm […]
Thankful for a Slow Week
Today I’m thankful for a slow week. Traveling, even for a day, has always been energizing to me. New adventures, new places, new people. Changing your routine is a variation on that theme… once you get over the change and your total lack of control… that is! Changing up your routine helps to see things […]
