Today I'm grateful for quiet moments with those I love. The moments where nothing happens except for comfortable silence. The moments that I don't need to fill with chatter. The content moments.

Today I'm grateful for my sister Trish's acceptance of my good moments and bad. She lets me be in a bad mood but keeps me laughing throughout. Thank you for loving me, warts and all.
Time for Gratitude: February 23, 2016
Today I'm feeling grateful for the mornings when it's cold and crisp and the tips of the nose gets chilled. There's something about walking outside and it being cold enough to wake me up that I feel alive and motivated to get through the day. As a side note, I'm equally grateful for those cold…

I'm grateful today for sunshine coming in through a window. It can light up a dark room or warm a soft kitty who sits in the sunspot. Feeling grateful for the small things.
Time for Lyrics: Things I Regret
I've shared Brandi Carlile song lyrics before. She's a songwriter who speaks to me in many ways and who I admire very much. One of her songs "Things I Regret" is my latest personal anthem. I appreciate it because I think it can be easy to get lost in the sea of regret or the…
Time for Memories: Lesson Learned in the Third Grade

Time to Remember: Alexander Lee
Four years ago today was the darkest moment of my life. The moment my sister's first child came into the world stillborn. The dark came in-without a warning- and it clouded over us- like a nightmare with no end. I'm not sure what was worse- the sadness and unjustifiable truth that Alexander was gone before…

Feeling grateful today for the satisfaction of a good ten minute nap. Sometimes it's all I need to get through the day.
Time for Gratitude: December 29th, 2015
It's too easy to let time go by without writing in the blog. Life gets in the way. So for today- just to get my toes wet again in the blogosphere...I am revisiting my gratefuls. Today, I am grateful for what's beyond the horizon. I used to look out at the Puget Sound from my Grandmother…
