Life is But a Dream



I am grateful for life. I am grateful for dreams.


This photograph is of a graphic on the side of a building in Ellensburg, Washington. I loved it when I saw it! It reminds me that we have the wherewith all to make our dreams our reality. We can discard old dreams and make new ones. Oh, yes we can!


I remind myself, daily to dream big. Dream true. Dream well.

Expressions of Creativity











I am grateful for the chance to express myself creatively. Though my arts and crafts art far from expert quality, I am pleased with them. Artistic expression is so fulfilling and beautiful to the soul.

I have painted with water color pictures on canvas and paper, sketched with pencil in black and white, fashioned pottery, made collages with pictures and varuious elements - even woven baskets. With every project, I have stepped back and said, "this is good!" I love that creative, articstic projects allow me to use the the right side of my brain, whereas most of my days' work relgates me to left-brain thinking.

Oh, the joys of whole-brain thinking!

Daughters



I am grateful for my daughters. They are different, yet alike in many ways. Both are brilliant, funny, savvy, resourceful, thoughtful, reflective, and beautiful. My Girls!

Easter Sunday


I am grateful for this sunny, warm, peaceful, quiet Easter Sunday. Easter, in my mind, is the official beginning of the new season - spring. It is also a time to affirm the newness of life. I look forward to new beginnings.

Blessings to all.

Spring Rebirth



I am grateful for this beautiful spring season. Spring helps me to realize in its vivid excellence the rebirth of life. Everything seems to come out of dormancy--trees, flowers, birds, bees, the sun, even people!



I simply love it!

The Simple Things

I am grateful for the simple things that life affords. Peace of mind. Love unlimited. Happiness. Joy. Abundance. I too am grateful that I realize that these simplicities require effort and determination.

What are you grateful for?





A dear friend extended an invitation to record for the next 21 days what we are grateful for. I am extending the invitation to you.


Will you commit to record in writing what you are grateful for? I am choosing to do it on my Facebook wall and in my personal journal.


Will you join me?


Gratefully yours!
