42 of 100 ... Inspiration!

To paraphrase Anne of Green Gables, “Isn’t it nice to think that today is the start of a new week with no mistakes in it yet?” … and in that, I feel optimistic and excited.  To pick up my socks and begin again, to step out in faith and confidence … and see what can happen over the next 7 days.  For some reason, it’s always easier to be optimistic when the sun is shining!

Moments of Gratitude for Monday

1. Today, I’m grateful for the 3 hr conversation with my brother.  It’s been a long while since I laughed that much!  Who would have thought that “what movie was that?” could launch a 20 min. non-stop laughing attack for both of us? My brother  - the “pope”! He inspires me in more ways than I can say!

2. Today, I’m grateful for hearing about Nicole’s interview.  This tells me that there is opportunity out there for movement, for change, for new directions.  I may not want what she wants, but if she can get a chance, then I know there is a chance for me as well.

3. Today, I’m grateful for the new week, another opportunity to improve upon last week. 

4. Today, I’m grateful for the need which provided me the necessity to go for a quick walk at lunch – to get a coffee for my afternoon meeting!

5. Today, I’m grateful for the chance, on that quick walk, to walk by a freshly mown patch of grass.  Nothing says “summer” like the smell of freshly mown grass!
