Grateful

for . . .

the last days of school


neighborhood kids, games, bikes, scooters,  & sidewalk chalk


a week without rain


yearbooks


laughter and giggles


frisbees and tennis balls


my children's friends


teenagers


cool spring evenings


the smell of the canyon


the sound of the creek


smiles and hugs


meaningful conversations


GREEN

morning walks


flowers

healthy bodies


a good book


a clean house


a content husband


a happy dog


a boy who keeps his curfew . . .


Just a few of the myriad of blessings I've noticed the last couple of days.

Who would have guessed that my day actually started out miserably?   However, once selfishness and negative thinking are pushed out of the way, I am much more aware of the abundance of light, goodness, and beauty that surrounds us everyday.

Gratitude is a powerful elixir.
