7 - Spring?




We have been spoiled this year.  Last year, the weather was brutally cold and everyone had a common complaint - the weather.  You could go no where without hearing someone moaning about how miserable they were.  I realized at some point - my 'ah-ha moment' for the year - that our complaining did nothing to change the weather ... instead, it just made us more miserable because our complaining did nothing to change our conditions. 

This year - we've had maybe a couple of weeks of cold weather.  Sure, we've had snow, but honestly, today, would almost swear that green grass was considering poking through the brown stuff on the ground and I wonder if leaves are thinking about budding.  It's winter!! and yet, we wear sweaters, light shoes, and some people even are wearing shorts! crazy!! 

Today's Gratitude Moments
1/ Today, I'm grateful for the beautiful weather!  I might not stay, but I'm glad it's here!
2/ Today, I'm grateful for a lovely lunch with RD (from AMEC - Brion Project).  Another new friend!
3/ Today, I'm grateful for the people who checked in to see how I am doing.  It really makes a difference when someone calls to see how you are doing and offers support, encouragement, and suggestions!
4/ Today, I'm grateful to find out more and more that my being let go from my job had little to do with me and more to do with a decision to benefit others over me.  I'm ok with that.
5/ Today, I'm grateful for a quiet evening watching TV.  I should do less of it, but I do enjoy it when I can.
