43 of 100 ... Inspiration and Determination!

Tuesday - two more days to the weekend!  Love short weeks!  This is something we never got in education and what a wonderful experience!  Granted, other things are open to question (PTO problems??) but yey for DDO Fridays!!


Gratitude Moments for Today (Tuesday)
1.  Last night, Phil told me last night about the challenge my nephew has taken on for himself for this summer.  He told me to encourage me - as Aiden is struggling with his challenge, I am, too.  My nephew is learning how to play Najee's saxophone version of "I Wish"; my nephew is in Gr. 7.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wh1CH_nN88 ... in the solo, my nephew says "I can't do it" ... but, one note at a time, he's learning it.  What an inspiration for me!! - If he can overcome "I can't do it" and do it, so can I.  I'm grateful for my nephew and for this inspiration.
2.  Today, a woman at work shared with us that she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  She's in her early 40s, I guess, and I was reminded of my blessings of not having cancer.  Also, there was an urging in me to do something for her ... I know I would have appreciated it if it was me, and so I really feel this is something I need to do ... for her, and for me.  Today, I'm grateful for this opportunity.
3.  Today, I'm grateful for an opportunity to go for a walk at lunch.  I know I need to be careful, as I am walking with my manager (watch what I say!), but it will be good!  That will be a definite pressure to follow through, that I can say!!
4.  Today, I'm grateful for getting home from work early enough to make something for supper.  I didn't make the best, but at least I did make something! (and not KD!!)
5.  Today, I'm grateful that my brother is my brother.  I'm proud of him, I'm honoured to spend time with him, I love him.  And, I adore and love my niece and nephew, and I'm very glad my sister-in-law is who she is.  I'm so grateful that these are my family; I love them beyond words.
