Our Ever Changing Lives


Our lives are constantly changing.   Some days everything seems to be going our way. Other days, not so much. It’s easy to feel gratitude on those good days.  We are grateful because good things are happening, and we like that! However, we must also learn to be genuinely grateful on those not-so-great days.

We can start by being grateful even though we are having one of those BAD days. Look for other, better things to focus on and be grateful for. Eventually, I think you can learn to be grateful for those BAD days. Those days are a blessing too, they help us appreciate the good days as well as keep us humble.

There will be times in life when everything you have seems to be crumbling around our feet. When that happens, let it go and keep moving through those struggles.  Life has it’s ups and downs, things and people come into our lives, and things and people leave our lives, often before we are ready.  Be grateful for having them, and also for letting them go, for it is all part of this wondrous cycle we call Life.

Today I am grateful for...


  1. My sweetheart...He is always by my side to share the good times and the not so good times. I love him with all my heart and soul.
  2. Giggles and tickles...The joy and laughter of little ones underfoot brings a smile to my heart
  3. The front porch...It's one of my favorite gathering spots, especially on these crisp fall mornings
  4. Our Troops that put their lives on the line to ensure our freedom. 
  5. Hot baths...I LOVE climbing into a hot bath and soaking away the worries of the day. 
Enjoy your day and remember to fill it with gratitude!
