Grateful Morning

Hi ya'll

I was re reading some of my latest posts and man...its heavy around here! lol

So, I thought this morning I could lighten things up a bit and start with what I am grateful for
and also share some things I'd love to do with friends and family who want to visit soon.

Ok, so

I am grateful for heat on this VERY cold morning, even if it IS 100 degrees in my apartment (can't control heat), but i'd rather have too hot then too cold any day.

I am grateful for my fuzzy fur ball cat Stewie, even if he shocks me every time I pet him. He doesn't like it either but puts up with it, cuz hey...petting is good! :)

I am grateful for so many wonderful friends and family who support me with love and sometimes scooping the litterbox. Now THATS love! lol

I am grateful for so many plants that seem to love it in my living room. They are thriving! Its a bit dry but they hang on till I water them.

I am grateful that I can still go out and about places and am not yet bed bound. Even if its for only 1-2 hours, its something, and its BIG! Means so much.

I am grateful I live so close to the ocean that feeds me negative ions and so much good energy for my soul and spirit.

I am grateful for purple sparkly nail polish that I now have on my toes. Fun to look at! :)

I am grateful for being able to take photographs still and I'm in the process of making more greeting cards that some people seem to enjoy. If you go to jenngie designs on Facebook, you'll see some of the pics I take. I haven't updated in quite some time, so the new ones are not there. I just am not too tech savvy.

I am grateful for so many things and could go on and on but wanted to start there for this morning.

What are YOU grateful for? Even if its a small thing like having a pair of red socks because they make you happy when you wear them. Anything.

Fun things to do with family and friends?  Hula Hooping in the Mall, drawing mandalas in silence, drawing or writing wishes down on flying wish paper and watching them dissolve into the universe when lit with fire., Make up stories with my stuffed animals...yes its ok to do as an adult, Watch anime movies with the sound off and make up our own words, ....there are so many more.....maybe YOU can fill in the blanks?

I'm consciously trying to find more beauty in all the tough days and nights around here. Sometimes I'm able to and other times I'm not and thats ok too. I'll try again the next day and not beat myself up for not being all pollyanna all the time. Thats not me. And that is OK.

Have a joy-filled weekend ya'll!

Hey Jenn, not to be cliche, but I am grateful to know you, even though its been a while since I have seen you. I am grateful fot your inate goodness that is a lasting positive effect on my sometimes crusty,jaded,bitter self. I remember the Kirtan class you introduced me to in NYC at Jivamukti. Listening to Annie DeFranco,when I came to visit you in Portland many years ago. My first time eating my now guilty pleasure, Whoopie Pies! Fresh Lobster seeing Maine in June....memories that seem not long ago. I wish that I could be there with you but am sending you positive vibes and thoughts.
