Gratitude




I am going to stay with the current theme of my favorite blogger, Grinning patient John.......
I am grateful for.......
New Months.....Leaving behind the old and embracing the new.
Breezes......Is there anything softer than the night breeze?
Daughters......and Sons.....better pieces of you, and their daughters and sons, better pieces of them......
Sobriety
The Glory of the Morning........God's recreation of the new day.
Butterflies.........precious,and free.... fleeting.... I wonder how they stopped by me in their journey and I always say hello....
The Moon........A great confidant
Nephews.....and, Nieces.....seeing extensions of your brothers and sisters.
Those who inspire me........These come in many guises......
paint.........every kind,every color
Quotes that make me think......and feel.......
People that believe in me.....even and especially when I don't.
Rain,soft, cool and...... dripping on my face
and Trees.....They have such a real live spirit about them,when I paint them, they always come out with arms....
clouds.........
Brothers.....and
Sisters.......They just know us.....who we really are, even if we forgot..........
Flowers of course....The very deep center, there's a secret surprise in there, that you will never see just passing by....
And
My Heavenly Father for all that he is, all that he stands for, his unfailing patience,mercy, forgiveness and his unconditional love and for all he has given me......... all of the above.

For these things and many more I am grateful.
Let us give thanks in all things.........
Count your blessings instead of sheep.
