Gratitude Lifts Our Attitude
On Wednesday, this picture and a message from FB was posted on my timeline. Seems this was the first photo I ever uploaded from my phone to FB. Obviously, I was in the gratitude mode at this time back then. I hope I never change! It is a product of our upbringing and circumstances that…
Amping Up Gratitude Through Appreciation
Gratitude just can’t be emphasized enough. Radical gratitude means we’re going to walk through life being grateful in every situation, no matter what — in times of plenty, when times are tight, when times are good, bad, right, or wrong. We can develop an attitude of gratitude by choosing to be grateful in every situation.…
The Blessing of My First-Born
On the road again! Yesterday the boys and I traveled back from Frisco to Austin to be here today for the traditional birthday breakfast where we celebrate another birthday of one we love. It’s the dad’s (my first-born’s) birthday this time. We’ll enjoy the usual: biscuits (plus cream & chocolate gravies), eggs, bacon and fruit.…
Just Taking it All in
I’m an “all in” kind-of-gal. I’ll admit that being all-in is easy when it comes to savoring the moments with my grandchildren.

Grateful to Be Changing the World
Day 31 of Photo Inspirations — Grateful Grateful is what my heart feels today as I’ve seen the dream of my precious husband come true — a dream that we prayed for every day. The prayer went something like this “that our family be closely knit together in all areas of life”. Before then, our…
I Am Thankful
Often, It’s a product of our upbringing and circumstances that we are complainers or if we are optimistic and have a grateful attitude. But no matter what, it’s possible to BECOME grateful — even if it’s not our natural “bent”, but it does take discipline. It’s like learning to dance or play an instrument or…
