Grateful for life

I am inspired by my amazing friend Nolwenn at Gratitude Friday - she reminded me to do this again. I am grateful for her inspiration, her art, and her friendship.
I am grateful for my birthday, I am officially a crone now. It was a difficult one, and I am thankful for all the wisdom that I have learned through the years.
I am grateful for my supportive and amazing husband who supports me no matter what.
I am grateful for a job that I love and am actually good at.
I am grateful to the universe for the amazing connection.
I am in a time in my life where I can no longer push and make things happen. I have to sit back and let the river of blessings flow over and around me. It flows into and out of me. My life has changed dramatically and I am learning to be grateful for this change.

Thank you, Universe.There is so much perfection and beauty all around me. I am grateful.

Gratitude Friday

Again, Nolwenn inspired me with her gratitude blog at http://networkedblogs.com/pQieW.

I am so thankful for this.

I am thankful for many things today and many people.

More than anything, I am thankful for my life. I have been through many things, yet there has been a wonderful pattern to it all. Everything I've learned is working together to make my life a more beautiful place. It's all coming together in my life work as I am forging my research tool. I am thankful to the universe for this amazing pattern.

I am grateful for my friend, Nolwenn, who inspired me with her blog http://networkedblogs.com/ptB5K

I love her gratitude friday blogs, even though I am not always faithful about participating, I like the reminder that there is so much to be grateful for.

1. I am grateful that I am alive. I don't know how I survived some of the injuries, accidents and illnesses, but I have. Maybe there's a reason? But I am thankful.
2. I am grateful for my amazing friends. I find that I meet them at work, online, or at play. But the universe has brought the most amazing people on the planet into my life.
3. I am grateful for my amazing supportive and kind husband. I am so thankful for his love.
4. I am grateful for my amazing daughters. Wow. They are both such beautiful people. I am in awe of the lives that I helped to begin.
5. I am grateful for the useful work that I have, it is so much fun and I believe I am making the world a better place.
6. and wow. Just realized. I am thankful that I am me.

Gratitude Friday

Wow - it's been over a month since I blogged on gratitude. Thank you, Nolwenn at http://inner-voices.net/blog/2011-10-28/gratitude-friday-10282011-viva-la-famiglia/ for inspiring me to do it again!

I am very grateful for beauty in my life. I love bright colors and meaningful images. I have three BEAUTIFUL pictures - by Nolwenn - that I have on my piano, I'm calling this my dream alter.

I created the little shelf during one of my Dream chooser groups, it symbolizes my dreams, my goals, what I am working towards. I need to add a phoenix and a fire rooster to this.

Her beautiful pictures add so much to this space, I can see it from my desk where I do most of my writing.

I am grateful for her inspiration, her talent, and most important, her friendship.

I am grateful that I am in a place in my life where I can enjoy beauty, enjoy friends, enjoy learning, and enjoy love.

I am grateful for the time to do this.

Thank you, universe!

54 Things I am grateful for - okay, only 26 that I can think of now....

I was inspired by http://networkedblogs.com/nw4dE, Nolwenn writes an amazing blog about gratitude every Friday. She wrote on 26 things she is grateful for since she turned 26. I figured since we share a birthday, I would write about 54 things I am grateful for (I turned 54!)

1. I am grateful that Igal got a new bed for Pooh. He is our big orange cat, and he has a habit of being very noisy when Igal is working or sleeping. I teach online classes and try to make my student videos when he is busy, but Pooh runs around like crazy, caterwauling, howling, squeaking, anything to get my attention. It has been driving me crazy and finally I suggested Igal buy him a cage so I can put him in the garage while I am taping videos. Well, yesterday he got a cage, then put a very soft cushion in there, and sprinkled catnip in it. Pooh has been in that cage nonstop since, by his own choice. I think he likes that it is on the couch where he can look out over everything happening in the room. He reluctantly comes out to be fed, then runs back into the cage. He has been so quiet ever since. I was able to make videos last night and this morning.

2. I am grateful for my amazing husband

3. I am grateful for my friend, Nolwenn

6. I am grateful for good health

7. I am grateful for a beautiful place to live.

9. I am grateful that the economy is failing. This is because it means the ending of the old (greed-based) way of doing business and the beginning of the new ethical way of doing business that is sprouting up.

10. I am grateful for the beautiful fog this morning.

11. I am grateful for chocolate.

12. I am grateful for coffee
