Gratitude for losing a job?
Yep, here I am, sitting at home. Working remote with a two-year-old running around. First off, I am crazy grateful. And I’m grateful to have a response of gratitude for things. This is not something that came naturally to me. I have worked for years on practicing gratitude. Not long after I started my blog, […]
N things of the week – #17 (migraines, celebrating fall & a schedule for B)
Can I come up with some heading about migraines that lures in a reader and makes them actually want to read this post?… Probably not, but I’m writing about migraines anyway. As I here writing this, I’ve been plagued by migraines the last three days. I can feel the edge of one now, but I […]
House Sold!!!
My Socorro house finally sold!!! It feels like it has taken forever, but my house finally closed today. I moved to Albuquerque more than a year ago. I am so excited that it is finally gone!! It made a great first house. I learned so much I know things I will look for in my […]
Positive Reviews
It’s so tempting when I have a bad experience (like the time I had the windows on my van tinted) to post negative reviews on every review site I can find on the internet, tell everybody I know, and write about it on my blog. Basically it’s tempting to complain a lot and at a […]
Super purple moon
It isn’t really called a purple moon. It’s a Super Blood Blue Moon. An event that hasn’t happened since sometime in the 1800’s and won’t happen again until sometime in the 2030’s. I read the exact dates in the newspaper but don’t recall them now. It’s a super moon because the moon is as close […]
Gratitude List – 2017 Thanksgiving Edition
Wow! Looking back at the last year, I’m struck by how much has changed for me. I am so grateful for where I am in life today. A year ago, I had no clue what was in store for me. I make a short gratitude list at least a few times a week. (My 2017 […]
Things I’m thankful for from 2016
At the end of each year, I like to do a review of the year- things I’ve accomplished, hi-lights from the year, notes on changes in my life, and things I’m grateful for. I also write a couple of pages on what I want for the new year, generally listing a few things under each […]
Gratitude for myself
Being grateful for oneself and focusing on the good things about who we are can be hard. It can feel cocky or conceited. It’s all too easy and natural to get down on ourselves about things, but actually being willing to focus on our positive qualities and enjoy them isn’t so easy at all. Honestly, […]
Hoppy Thanksgiving
I wanted to wish each of you a Hoppy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a day with lots of family, and friends and of course some good food! I have to admit that this is one of my favorite holidays. I probably don’t need to mention how so many holidays have become commercialized. And sure, […]
Gratitude for challenges
“I’m grateful today won’t last forever.” OK, I don’t mean that about today. But I have written that on gratitude lists in the past. Sometimes, I try to be grateful for things I’m not really grateful for or I try to find aspects of awful things to be grateful for. I say or write things […]
