Thankful

I was sitting down this evening trying to think of what to write in my blog tonight when it suddenly dawned on me how fortunate I am, so that's what I am writing about tonight. I am thankful for so many things. I am thankful to have a job (altho it is only part time) when so many others do not. I am fortunate that I still have a roof over my head, food in my fridge, a vehicle in my driveway and all sustained during my 7 months of unemployment. I am also quite fortunate to be married to my best friend, soul mate, and shoulder to cry on (as a side note we are still just as in love as we were 9yrs ago when it all began). I am thankful that my father moved closer to my home and I get to see him so much more than I have in the past couple years and also thankful that he found someone that is so very good to him. I am thankful for having the greatest big brother in the world and sister-in-law that I can love and share things with like a sister. Let's see, what else? I am grateful for a mother, who has always been a constant support for me thru all things in my life and for her undying love for me. I am also thankful that my mother loves my niece with the same undying love, so much so that she shaved her head when my niece lost all her hair from chemo. And lastly... I am thankful for every single day that my niece continues to live and grow stronger, with the hope that one day she'll be back to running and playing like little girls should do. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jessagreen
Take a moment and think about all the things you do have in your life, how much they mean to you, and how quickly it can all disappear. No matter how bad things can get, there is always a silver lining, always a thread of hope. Close your eyes and bask in the beauty of you and in the beauty around you. When we quiet the mind and open the heart the world has quite a different view. Until next time dream on dreamers!

Better Day

Well feeling much more myself now, only took 2 days lol. So how's everyone else doing? I saw that the lottery is getting quite the hefty jackpot. Now I don't usually play, but I might have to. I already know exactly what I'd do if I won. One thing for sure is buy myself a home and buy homes for some family. But something I think would be really great to do with that kind of money is to put an article in the paper asking people to nominate friends, family, or even strangers that have fallen on hard times and need help. I would do it just for the county I live in to begin with. I'd take a million dollars and help out the people that were nominated that needed it most. It could be something as simple as paying off a student loan or buying a used car to the more complex stuff like paying off home loans or paying for someone to go to college. Just a little something to help people out and what better time then now. Then I would do the same thing for the county my hometown is...

How the world can change one person at a time

I decided yesterday after a long day of work that I didn't show the people I worked with how much I really appreciated them. So after a little thought I tapped on the office door of our HR person. I poked my head in and just told her how much I liked some flyers she had printed. The smile and the thank you I received told me she was glad to know her efforts weren't unnoticed. I walk away feeling pretty good. A trip to the grocery store led me to donate all the dollars I had on me to the empty stocking fund and then for a third "good deed" for the day....I offered a ride to a woman who had quite a few groceries and was riding a bike. She said it never fails someone offers a ride when I don't need one but when i do no one is to be found. I decided to make sure from now on to watch for her to make sure she did get a ride when she needed it. Are these giant leaps and bounds into saving the world? No, but they are small deeds that show others they aren't invisible ...

A decent saturday

All in all I've had a really nice day today. It was really great to get to spend the whole day with my hubby and enjoy each others company. I don't think I've laughed so much with him in awhile. It'a a good idea to take the time to reconnect and fuel that flame from the spark that brought two loners together. It's wonderful to have someone who is a compliment to your own personality. He keeps me level headed when I need it be because I spend alot of time in the clouds lol. And where sometimes I over think stuff searching for an answer he can step in look at the surface and give a simple applicable solution. Make it a point today and everyday to appreciate the one that loves you... the one that can say you are beautiful even when you are sick as a dog and feel like poo (i know he's lying but makes me feel better lol); the one who has been the reciever of your bad attitude when you have had a bad day; the one who, when the world is falling in around you, just hold...
