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.

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.

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Don't Blink

What rate ticketh clock? I blinked and a whole year passed or, was I dreaming? Somehow I seemed to have lost a whole year, it appears what I thought happened last year happened the year before! My sister who is twelve years my senior warned me about this ~ "wait until you get to my age then time really does fly"! Of course we'll never be able to confer! Still, living in the moment can feel like forever, because it is, I'm trying to make each beautiful moment count! Sharing with Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
