#1 – open doors and windows. There is nothing better than having the windows and doors open and letting fresh air and sunlight in. I’m grateful I can do this at work (especially the last 2 days when I’ve been alone) to appreciate the sight and sounds of nature. To able to sit at my desk, look out the door and see the fall colors … Continue reading Grateful – Day 4
#1 – I’m grateful that I can bring my dog to work. It is a great way to relieve the work day stress. #2 – As a much as it is a pain in the tushy, walking/running with the three furballs below keep me on my toes and light on my feet. I’m not the most coordinated person in the world but I somehow manage to … Continue reading Grateful – Day 3
Day 2 of Grateful #1 Being able to watch the Universe unfold. Most of the day I sat at the dining room table writing only to be distracted by the same bird landing on on the porch railing and picking at the dirt in basil plant that sat on the railing. The plant was on it’s last leg when I put it outside a few … Continue reading Grateful – Day 2
A few days ago I read a tweet that said: “You can “rewire” your brain to be happy by simply recalling 3 things you’re grateful for every day for 21 days” and it kind of stuck in my head.

This email from one of the partners I work with made my day. I really enjoy working with this group. They work hard and just get it. They are so easy to work with and are accommodating for the simplest, hardest, and most insane needs/request/last minute crap moments. As my duties in my big girl job do include event planning, I try to make sure … Continue reading Gratitude
There are days that test your patience. The days that make you want to take out the frustrations on others, yourself, or both! I had one of those. And as frustrated as I got, I realized that my frustration weren’t really mine. I did everything right. I did my job and I helped out and that the end result was putting out a forest fire … Continue reading Test On My Patience
Sometimes, you wonder if you make a difference in someone’s life. Especially of a child’s life. More often than not, we let the words that should be said slip into the silence, the fight over something so trivial, the exasperated sigh of you never understand, fine, whatever… Then there are times like today, a post, a tweet, a status update, a tag in a photo … Continue reading A Day to Be Thankful
This is a way overdue thank you. I didn’t get the chance to say thank you in person or even via the internet until today. Life said here go and kicked me out the door. No proper goodbyes, hugs, or shenanigans. So, though late…here is my huge and grateful thank you to the following: BeBop, The Gin Mill Family, Krissie, Annie & Brad, Gail, Heather, Nikki, and Ronnie I cannot thank … Continue reading A Delayed Thank You
