testing

this is a test to see how this new width looks in this blog template. i am filling in the space with a paragraph here so let's discuss how jon and millie and i are all in the guest room as i work on my mac on the guest bed which has become my new creative nest. i can imagine writing the book from this very spot. it will be wonderful with the cool breeze blowing through the windows....

do not stop seeking

i have been in a bit of a hole today...working and other things. i just saw the news. young people killed. the sense-less-ness of it all. the whys. all the whys.

today, take a moment to sit in the quiet and think of the gratitudes in your life.

in this moment this afternoon, i am grateful for:

the kindness of my husband
the moments when millie puts her head on my knee
the health of my friends and family
the hope that lives in my heart

i breathe. tonight i remember. i breathe.
again. again. again.

grateful for:
friendship
silliness
laughter
deep sighs
fresh veggies

updating

just a note to say i am updating the site. slowly but surely.

i am going to start posting today's post and then will fill in the posts from previous weeks. i will probably start with uploading the polaroids and will then type in the notes from my gratitude journal...

thanks for stopping by to see what i am up to over here with my daily polaroid gratitude project...

i am still taking a polaroid every single day. and writing a few words about the moment and a list of things i am grateful for. i am just behind in scanning them and sharing them. stay tuned...stay tuned...

day 33

it’s February 2 around 10:00 p.m. and i am sleepy. body needs water and sleep…



i am grateful for: a good day with barb, blue sky, my husband’s kind heart, the promise of sleep.

day 32

it’s february 1 around 8:30 and I am drinking peppermint tea enjoying the companionship of my husband and his mother who is visiting for a few days. after another intense day, it is nice to be able to just settle in for a deep breath surrounded by love and to know you are not alone.



i am grateful for opportunities, hope, slippers, flannel pj’s, and cheese.

day 31

it’s january 31 at 9:35 p.m. it has been a long day. a hard day. i am tired. as i drink decaf genmai-cha, i just can’t help but think about how old and tired i feel. tomorrow is another day, as they say…



i am grateful for my favorite yoga pants, m&ms, breathing, moving forward.

day 30

taking a break to breathe in the scents of a spiced chai latte…to breathe, to breathe, to breathe.



i am grateful for words, truth, silliness, hugs, hope.
