What is there to be GRATEFUL for ?...or What there is to be GRATEFUL for...

 

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come from something we don't have, but from recognizing and appreciating what we do have."
*Frederic Keonig

 

Yes, I am grateful for my children knowing God and being grateful...for the small steps I am taking that seem to me at times like great sssssssssssssssstrides...for reaching out to a hurting soul, I know you are orchestrating that, God...for OPRAH WINFREY, she is an angel sent to us from God (if you don't agree, then you don't truly know her or you lack wisdom and insight or ?, and I'm sad for you)...for Cheryl Strayed's book, WILD, that I so anxiously await to read and so strongly encourage everyone to read immediately...for AMAZON.com, that will deliver WILD right to my door on Monday.

I am grateful for pets--so loving, loyal, and faithful...for cats, especially COZY, her beauty is a feast to my soul...for colors, especially ivories and dulce de leche, they hold comforting memories...for sleep, although I don't get enough, it shuts out all kinds of pain...for God's plans for me (Jeremiah 39?)...for games, like SCRABBLE, WORDS WITH FRIENDS, HANGING WITH FRIENDS, JEOPARDY, I love knowledge and strategy...for another favorite game, FAMILY FEUD on tv, love Steve Harvey---he makes me LOLOLOL...for my BLOG, YELLOWROSES, SMILES AND TEARS, it is therapeutic, beautiful, and interesting to me, and SOMEDAY I will make it significant for others...for patience, what would we do without it?...for a dear lady named, Karen, whose words, eyes, smiles, hugs, gentleness, showed me GOD, when I needed him most. Thank you, dear little lady.

Oh, I suppose I could go on and on, but I'll leave some for another post...Summing up...I am grateful for the HOPE that SOMEDAY I will be truly grateful to God for all of it--- with ALL my heart and soul.

...and, of course, always ever so grateful for my Travis. ♥ : )
