My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Clouds
2. Eyesight.
3. Exquisite September roses at Winter Park, Florida’s Central Park.
4. Finding beauty, even in distress.
5. Spending a couple of delightful hours working on our iPads at Jacksonville’s Café Resistance Bookstore and Coffee Shop.
May you stay out of jail this weekend!
After the dark time with kitty cat Benny’s passing, daughter Amy offered us a couple of weeks at the Ponte Vedra condo to get away for a bit and allow the quiet surf to soothe.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
It is a bit difficult to write about Happiness today, because of course it is the anniversary of one of the most horrendous days in our nation’s recent history. And it is the day after putting our sweet feline kitty to sleep. But I will try.
1. First of all, the ability to feel and experience emotions, even the really tough ones.
2. A beautiful evening walk along the Savannah River a few blocks from our place and encountering a huge cargo ship heading out to sea and on to Marseille, France.
3. Daughter Amy’s medical company here in Savannah, Coastal Care Partners, winning multiple awards announced in the current edition of Savannah Magazine.
4. All these little Jesus figurines that keeping popping up. I’m not sure of their exact purpose, but they always made me smile.
Have you seen them around where you live?
5. Joyful memories of Benny and his 17 1/2 years of enjoying life.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. Sunset’s beauty. It never gets old.
2. Key Lime Pie.
3. Feeling good physically. What a blessing it is when it happens.
4. Benny insisting on resting atop a bunch of plastic grocery bags.
5. The necessity of flowers.
Joyful last weekend of August to you!
And that’s My Saturday Evening Post.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1.Seeing Robert.
2. My blackberry, raspberry and whipped cream waffles for breakfast.
3. Having an appetite (or appetites).
4. Lighting a candle and saying a prayer at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Augustine the other day. For peace of heart for us all.
And what colorfully beautiful Spanish architecture and artwork.
5. Reminding myself to embrace the beauty and promise of each new morning .
Wishing you a promising weekend.
Marveling this Monday evening at finding the perfect spot to write …
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts
1. For some reason, my little half & half dribbling made me smile this morning at the coolest little coffee shop in St. Augustine near where we are staying in Florida.
2. Keeping an inviting bowl of fruits and vegetables on the kitchen island. To eat, yes, but also just to … see.
3. The summer sunshine.
4. Having 17 year-old Benny with us on our longer August stay at South Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.
5. Being able to smile, even on a bad hair day.
May you have a Smile-Worthy Weekend ahead.
