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.

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.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Neat ceiling lights at the Ponte Vedra YMCA.

2. Sunrise at the beach.

And the lone, early-morn beach walker.

3. Our hands. That can reach.

4. Stopping to smell the roses, no matter how strong or weak the aroma.

5. Delightfully Pretty in Pink.

May your Friday Evening Sunset bring Comfort and Peace.

My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts

1. Fresh, local summer sweet corn!

2. Grandson Daniel (having recently finished his freshman year at Shenandoah Conservatory/Musical Theatre), waiting with MANY others at an open call on Broadway.

He didn’t get a callback but felt he sang well and had a great experience.

3. The ability to hear!

4. These roses in our bathroom window.

5. Enjoying these gigantic inflatables outside the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

HAPPY WEEKEND!
