Gratitude Monday-- A Good Year
I am grateful for the year I had and for the year ahead.
We had a lovely trip to the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania in late May and early June.
It was a pleasure to see those former Soviet bloc countries and to hear the stories of the people who lived through those times.
And for me it was a grand treat to have pickled herring for breakfast.
My husband had a rental house he fixed up and sold. Rental income is fine, but this is a headache we no longer need.
My best friend and I went to Portland, OR for the weekend in August to see a local theatre company's "Star Trek In The Park."
They put on "The Trouble With Tribbles," and it was a blast.
As readers here know I got off my prescription heart meds back in November. I only take daily low dose ASA now. My cardiologist said this was non-negotiable and I am totally cool with it.
An independent publisher in the UK has offered me a book contract. The papers have yet to arrive as I write this, but it counts and it's a win.
It was a great year. I am sure some not-so- great stuff happened, but I have long forgotten. This is also a win.
Life in 2013 was good.
In 2014 it will be even better.

A young house finch enjoys the setting sun of a warm spring evening.
It has the right idea.

Help Wanted
Today I woke up full of love and completely clueless as to why and what to do about it.
Suggestions?

Gratitude -- Each In Its Season
On the whole I have to say I am grateful for everything.
Each event adds its own special spice to life. Good, bad, or indifferent, as we perceive it, it is all different.
It is this difference that makes the difference.
Without change, without adversity, and diversity, and a good dollop of plain old fashioned boredom thrown in from time to time, we'd have no baseline for assessment.
With no way to assess our lives we'd never change or recognize that we must.
Thus my reasons for being grateful for it all.
What do you think?

Looking to the Light
Happy Solstice all.

Full disclosure, the above is actually the moon, but it gets the point across.
