Gentle Reminder or a Knock to the Head


Of late I've not been practicing what I preach, as the saying goes.  I've gotten away from my daily practice of gratitude and it happened when I stopped blogging every day. Today, two V-8 knocks to my forehead reminded me that I've got to get back to writing every day and, more importantly, return to expressing my gratitude for … Continue reading Gentle Reminder or a Knock to the Head

The Charming Gardeners


This captures how I'm feeling today. Hope you go out and thank someone today!  

What a Wednesday!


Tough day today; I needed a reminder about being grateful.  This was so helpful to see when I got home tonight.

Halfway Home, Almost


I'm close to the halfway mark of my 365 daily Thank You's.  When I started back in August, I had no idea that writing on a daily basis would be as challenging as it's been.  Initially, it was easy to think of the thank you's, I'd generated a list to help me.  Some of the … Continue reading Halfway Home, Almost

Happiness Is A Choice


I was trolling my Facebook news feed looking for some inspiration for today's post.  The past several days have seen an uptick in the number of posts to the Thyroid Cancer Survivors page; a page that I follow, being a survivor and all.  Holidays for so many people are more chore than cheer, and it … Continue reading Happiness Is A Choice

Better Said Than I Could Have


Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, frankly the entire interweb is teeming with all things Veterans' Day; as it should be!  One of my Facebook friends, who I wrote about the other day, posted her take on the day.  I'm not saying it's any more sincere than all the other thank you's that I've read today, but what … Continue reading Better Said Than I Could Have

If You Missed National Thank You Day…


National Thank You Day, depending on what you believe when you Google it, was either September 12th or 27th. Since I missed the day regardless, I'm proposing that today, October 10th, is Thank You Day! So, I think that anyone who reads my blog, or post on Facebook, should take a minute and thank someone. … Continue reading If You Missed National Thank You Day…
