I AM GRATEFUL FOR:
A is for Appreciation
Appreciation for what has passed. People, places, and spaces -
Places contain our roots. People are memories. History, I don’t
want to repeat it or make the same mistakes. I have to know
the past for a clear future. The ability to deeply feel leads me to
empathy and compassion.

I am grateful for Desire. God meets my needs but He has also given me my desires. Without a desire within, I loose the spirit and spark that gives me the drive to do each day.

I am grateful for the Joy in my life.
The Joy of this time of year adds Joy to my heart.
Watching the excitement of the Grandchildren, waiting
for the big night brings a smile to my face. Doesn't
seem that it could have been that many years since
my own children were that age.....
