Day 14

I have spent the last hour since getting home from work scrolling through Zulilly ads.
I came back to the bedroom to post something here.
Alas I still have nothing to say that feels worthy.
When all else fails, I fall back on gratitude.


So today I'm grateful for feeling more like myself, not so scared and depressed.
I'm grateful for clarity and insight.
Despite my aches and pains, I'm grateful for good health.
I'm grateful for people to love who love me back.
I'm grateful for worry-ers. Sorry to make them worry, but grateful they care.
I'm grateful for the sight of Bella doing the Hokey Pokey.
I'm grateful for a chill in the air and blankets on the bed.
I'm grateful Sweetie didn't pay the $180.00 to have the car checked out when all it took was driving it off the lot.
I'm grateful for Ray at Avis.
I'm grateful for Bear claws and Broccoli Cheddar soup from Panera's.
I'm grateful for Chat Noir writing buds and the inspiration they share.
I'm grateful it's time to crawl under the covers, close my eyes, and fall asleep next to the man I love.

What are you grateful for?
Merry ME

Hey there, I found you via the NaBloPoMo blogroll.

I'm grateful for a peaceful day at home sorting ebooks and commenting on blogs. :)

As part of NaBloPoMo I try to comment on as many participating blogs as I can, and I also add participating blogs to my feed reader.

So I’m just dropping by to let you know I’ve added your blog to my feedreader, I’m reading you loud and clear, I have a link up going at my place so my readers can find participating blogs which you are more than welcome to add your blog link to.

Looking forward to seeing your posts, and you’ll likely see me drop by again during November.

UPDATE:  I'll be picking a winner on Thanksgiving Day. So make a donation and leave your name in the comment section below.  ME UPDATE:  I see a tiny problem but it should be easy to fix. Commenting anonymously doesn't get your name in the drawing. And there's no way to tell Anonymous A from Anonymous B. Are you different or the same? I need to be able to get back in touch with you somehow. We can exchange email addy's later. But please at least leave your name. If you still comment as Anonymous, just say your name in the comment.  You can use first name and last initial. Or last name alone. Or an Alias. Just so I can get your name in the hat. And really, thank you. Thank you again and again. Merry ME _____ I always breathe a sigh of relief when a storm veers away from Jacksonville.  At the same time it's hard not to feel guilty that it went somewhere else.  I was in no way prepared for Hurricane Sandy. Like a lot of others, I felt like the...

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
