Grateful for Gratitude


I am grateful on this day, 
Friday, 24th December 2010
'Christmas Eve'
for 

GRATITUDE

Gracious Gratitude,
rescuing me from myself,
forging paths through fear


At an early age I was familiar
with the saying 
"count your blessings one by one"
but it was just some old saying!

Life passes so quickly,
and there were times
I felt like the days were so long,
so dark and filled with nothing,
like I was wading through treacle!

but

those days are in the past now,
and it's Christmas Eve
so enough of that!

just one thing though, 

Dreamboard by Charlotte Fox

I'm so grateful I learned to 
"count my blessings one by one"
for so doing the mind
becomes filled with the positive,
literally leaving no room for anything else!


Thank you for returning to my advent calendar with your lovely comments.

BTW I have a greeting for you
 on my last day of 
Gratitude
25th

"Wading through treacle".... Lucky you didn't come to a sticky end.... Did you do so syrup-ticiously?

Happy holiday, from Boonie

Ms. Foxy, I have been absent from visits here. Forgive me. I love the thoughts of gratitude as I have discovered these blessings later in my life and understand the importance.

Merry Christmas to you and all you hold dear.

Peace.

Sue beautiful lines that I loved very much!!

When you feel like grumbling,
Just pause only for awhile
and count all your blessings,
then that'll bring back a smile!!

Your post is so colorful and lovely, so filled with hope and desirous of casting aside the fears of the past. It is encouraging to all of us. It leaves me Merry and Bright for the holidays. Thank you Sue for your friendship and all that you have taught us with this lovely advent post. I wouldn't have missed it.

I've really enjoyed following your advent calendar, Sue. I just copied it to my desktop, now that it's complete. I can look at it each day and be reminded of how much I have to be thankful for throughout the year.

A Heady Afternoon

All the Queen's men  and women were invited,  this was just such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Partying with the Royals no less,  right outside their font door, a heady occasion! This will feature strongly in my 'Joy Portfolio' Sending to  Sharing the Joy Thursday Meri's Musings

Navigating Home

Well here I am again!  Wonder of wonders that I am even showing up at all in this little blog wilderness having uprooted my faithful old friend Finding my Bliss by way of messing up the template!  The one who safely sailed me through Bloglandia for all of those years was interfered with in an abrupt manner (see previous post).   I know it may sound silly but I feel like I am grieving for what was my sanctuary and residence, I am feeling kind of lost with nothing familiar to cling to, but alas I do have one place that is very much like home and so there I will share a little haiku with my friends... By way of haiku navigate a place called home the 'heart' gathering... On the subject of home and the insecurity of having no solid ground to tread on, that's where I am finding myself at present as I'm in the throws of purchasing a new home and going through a very sticky patch with the legalities of it all.  It's going at a snail's pace and I'
