A Week Of Gratitude

Day 22

It's Friday once again. Time for me to reflect on this past week with gratitude........

1. Writing this in the morning. I usually am posting late at night. Today I have the opportunity to get it done early. Getting myself focused on gratitude in the beginning of the day is setting me up to enjoy it all.
2. Andy has had work all week. It was with his old boss which meant back to old hours. We had gotten used to him leaving later for work. It had provided me with the time to workout and meditate with complete ease in the morning before he even needed to get out of bed. This week, however, he left at the crack of dawn and my meditation had to be done with one ear open and workout has been cut a little short all week. Bummer..yes, of course, but ANDY HAD WORK! It is a blessing.
3. Our new pediatrician. This is the third, no fourth, one we are going to since Eliza was born. We have been trying to find that balance of kindness, knowledge we could have faith in, calmness, holistic vs. medication.......I think we have found it. He is awesome.
4. My commitment to the Wayne Dyer meditation for manifestation. It works. I feel more connected to something lighter. The manifesting works. It almost scares me ( something I need to work on, surprises me really....don't know why it scares me). Things are happening. I will be sharing more in the next few days.
5. All of you who leave comments on this blog. Each time, after I write, I start feeling some stuff. I feel naked or exposed, of wanting to take it all back and not post it because I start to think who is really reading it anyway. This is also mixed with a complete freedom and release that totally fills me with energy. When I get those comments I feel more connected. It is almost like after reading your thoughts the post becomes more solid. Like it has a stronger foundation to now sit upon. Make sense? Anyway, thank you.
6. Little Miss Lulu is a strong little bugger. We just found out yesterday that this kid has a double ear infection. She has not stopped smiling and makes us laugh. Even when in pain, our sweetie is still just pure love.
7. Annie's pre-school graduation. A big milestone. One I could have completely sobbed through. Too much to write now but I am so grateful to the school and teachers for taking such amazing care of my baby and preparing her for her school career that lies ahead.
8. The opportunity to be there and support my friends and family through their stuff. Learning how to be present and open. Not being stuck in my own shit but available to be of service. It is a gift to have the opportunity to be a friend, sister and I am grateful.
9. The SUN!!!!!!!!!! It has been unreal....beautiful......LOVE IT!!!!! Today may even be a beach day!
10. New possibilities! More is opening up for us.....more will be revealed......I am praying for the willingness to stay open. I am excited for what is in front of us. I am learning it may, once again, look a little different than I expected and that it is not only okay, but it may...just possibly....be even better!

Have a fabulous weekend!!
