been awhile, huh? concentrating on what i appreciate as part of my daily mindset is enriching, but challenging. i've already fallen short of my goal to record at least one thing daily. it's funny, though - i have thought of it daily. sometimes my prayers have simply been to BE appreciative, ...because i just wasn't in the mood to be. how childish! but how true...and of course, the irony is that if i could just focus on the thankfulness, i'm certain it would improve my mood. hmmmm...
today, i am grateful for the spring sunshine...for the warmth and the hope nice weather brings. the "greening" will soon be upon us!! and i'm grateful for the sunshine making my daffodils burst into beautiful color! warren enjoyed them immensely: "mama? smell! smell yellow? pretty yellow!"
i am grateful for my low back pain...yes, you heard me...because when i got to the question/review section in my manual, i could not have answered several of the questions if i hadn't taken such a personal interest in learning what to do! oh yes, there is always a silver lining!
i am grateful. for my alarm system (ben has been out of town, and i'm such a fraidy cat now). for good books, even ones i've read several times before (hello, twilight series??). for wine, and for my mother's meringues with fresh cut strawberries and sweetened heavy cream (trust me...it's not your mother's strawberry shortcake! but it is mine!). and, in reference to that last, i am grateful for metformin!
