12 of 100 ... IT'S FRIDAY!!

This was a loooong week and I'm so glad it's over! Not that I have much planned, but that I can recoup (and do some reading and planning!) and maybe, if I'm lucky, get another load or two out of the storage? I need to figure that out ... I'm afraid I won't get it done by the end of September and not sure what will happen then.

Gratitude:   
1/ I'm grateful that Friday is here!  Time to relax, recoup and renew! 
2/ I'm grateful today that my friend RA, who has been visiting Alberta has had a wonderful time here - revisiting people and taking her children to fun experiences! And I'm grateful that I got to spend a bit of time with her while she was here. It reminded me how important friends are in our lives. 
3/ I've said it before, but I really am grateful for the beautiful weather we have had this summer.  It feels almost like summer is starting to wind down as mention of cooler days ahead fill the news, and though it seems that I didn't make the most of it while it was here, I did love the beautiful hot days! Man, does it feel like time is slipping through my fingers! 
4/ Today, I'm grateful for the time ahead of me, that I can still make something of the rest of my life.  Sometimes I get caught up in remembering the past and thinking that the best is behind me; at times like that, I need to stop and realize that there are still more days ahead!  and I don't want to go through them living in the past, regretting what wasn't, because I'm then wasting and losing what could still be.  
5/Today, I'm grateful for being able to listen beyond the words, to see beyond the picture and to think beyond the obvious.  Sometimes, being silent and listening and then choosing your words carefully for a question goes much further in helping resolve confusions than spouting off what you think is the "right answer".  Answering questions can be difficult, especially when one is never asked a question. I'm glad I ask myself difficult questions all the time - I'm glad I don't settle for the simple answer.
