The Attitude of Gratitude
I’ve loved seeing FB posts by many of you who are expressing 30 days of gratitude in this month of Thanksgiving.

You Light Up My Life

Remembering to Remember

Living, Laughing, Loving
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Living….really living this life we’ve been given — with all its many adventures. Laughing out loud in the midst of the good living and the tough-living-times.

Always Something To Be Thankful For

Gratitude for Simple Pleasures
Day 329 of Photo Inspirations — Gratitude for Simple Pleasures During this Thanksgiving week, we express gratitude for those things that money affords — like our homes, cars, clothes, food, electronics, appliances and all those THINGS that add to our comfort. But at the end of the day, those precious treasures that money can’t buy….top…
Gratitude Even in the Toughest Times
Day 262 of Photo Inspirations — Gratitude Even in the Toughest Times Last night, my Life Group’s discussion was about gratitude. I asked them to write down 10 things they are grateful for in one minute. Some beat the minute and wrote down even more things. I did the exercise, yesterday morning. I gave…
