28 of 100 ... Monday, Mixed Blessings

Moments of Gratitude for Monday
1.  Today, I'm grateful for the beautiful weather - I got out at lunch and went for a walk to Starbucks for a coffee to stay awake during the afternoon meeting.  It worked!
2.  Today, I'm grateful for being able to share one of my favourite novels with LL.  One of the hardest things about not teaching is never teaching this novel again ... and now, I get to do it! I'm so excited!
3.  Today, I'm grateful for a gift that came out of the blue.  A woman from work, who I don't know very well, came to me and asked if I would edit a bit of her writing.  I was floored ... and so deeply honoured!  It's easy to think of yourself like everyone else, and when someone not only notices something, but does something to honour what you thought was nothing special, I am reminded of things I really am good at doing.  She said she was asking me because she really likes how I write and she wanted my help with making her writing better. Wow.
4.  Today, I'm grateful for ... for being reminded that there are special things about me.  It's easy to forget that when there's no one to remind me. 
5.  Today, I'm grateful for being safe.  I don't know what happened above me, in the space where the people are supposed to be away on holiday, but whatever made the noise, left me alone.
