Gratitude List

Here it is dear imaginary reader ( I really should give you a name), the first gratitude list for 2020, I will start out with the basics, the givens.

1. I am grateful for a body that while not perfect, is strong, is capable, and allows me to live this life everyday doing the things I choose to do.

2. I am grateful for a mind that works and allows me to be the person I want to be.

3. I am grateful for my children and the blessings they bring to my life. There is no greater joy in my life than The Adventures of S and C.

4. I am grateful for my grand babies because GRANDBABIES!  How did I get so lucky as to have these three perfect little humans know me as their Nana.  And yes they are perfect!  In every way.  

5. I am grateful for the rest of my family—parents, siblings, grandparents, cousins, extended—The love we share and the lessons they have taught me about who I am, who I want to be, and sometimes who I don’t want to be.

6. I am grateful for the Badasses and the acceptance, friendship, adventure, laughter, challenges, and love they have added to my life.

7. I am grateful for a career that allows me to use my strengths, grow, challenge myself, afford the things I want in my life along with the flexibility to go where I want to go when I need to go. 

And on this lovely January morning I am grateful for coffee...that most magical of elixirs that helps usher in awareness of the new day!  I strive to start each glorious morning with a grateful heart, excitement for the the adventures to come and one recurring thought in mind....”But first coffee!” ☕️☕️
