What was is gone, what is to come can still be. If I do what I've always done, I'll get what I've always got. This needs to change. Here I challenge myself to that change and see what can yet become of this chapter of my life.

35 of 100 ... Pushing Forward
About 15 min ago I found out that a family friend passed away in April. This woman was like another aunt to me, and the memories throughout my life of her mixed with other people, most passed on already, are flooding back. I feel horrible, for personal reasons. Life - a fleeting moment, laced with regret and celebration.
Moments of Gratitude Today
1. Today, I'm grateful for the great price I got for a new pair of pumps. I hope they are as comfortable long term (as my ankles unswell) as they felt in the store.
2. Today, I'm grateful for making my Jambalaya again, this time with shrimp. I hope it's as good as the last time! (2 bags of groceries - $100 ... crazy!)
3. Today, I'm grateful for planning my meals for the coming week, right down to the snacks, and doing the preparation that I need to for success in that department this week!
4. Today, I'm grateful for Alice ... the memories are many and my regrets are definite. But for all her influence in my life, I thank God for her and in the midst of my tears, I rejoice that she is reunited with mom, dad and Aunt Lydia, and many others who welcomed her home.
5. Today, I'm grateful for the good memories I have.
