If you haven’t already noticed, I added something to my sidebar (giving you a second to glace over and see what has changed.) This is a welcome change in my opinion and will remain as a permanent fixture.

A while ago, I was advised that in order to get the most out of life and to be happy, I should think of 6 things every day that I am grateful for. I have succeeded in doing this most days. With the upcoming season of Joy and Gratitude, I decided to start sharing my feelings.

Now, of course, my children are at the very top of my gratitude list but, I wanted to dig a bit deeper to see things that have helped me or that I have taken for granted in the past. Some of them may appear to be trivial or flippant but, to me, they really are things that I am glad that I have in my life. I plan on sitting down at the end of every day and letting you know just exactly what has enhanced my life even if it was in just a very small measure.
