Thanks for Sonic Santa Sighting on Roller Skates

I have had a super sonic day today. So many moments to be grateful for in one day. It is late and I am committed to sharing thanks everyday so I am up late writing tonight's blog post. Thanks to my new blog readers. I broke the 100 page view milestone! Now for my thanks!

Norman Levy Park December 10, 2011

1) Started out today taking a walk at Norman Levy Park. Thanks for a beautiful day and beautiful view which I snapped a picture with my phone. I love standing at the top of hill and looking out over the marshes and bay.

Sonic Roller Skating Santa Sighting, December 10, 2011

2) Thanks for a fun road trip with our family friends the Gera's. Started doing some holiday shopping and stopped for a quick lunch at Sonic in Deerpark. Thanks to the roller skating Santa at Sonic who put us in the holiday spirit!

3) Thanks to the Coach company who sent me a $190 gift card. In February my friends gave me a Coach bag for my birthday. I had never had one! I'm one of those $30 Kohl's pocketbook gals. To my surprise the expensive Coach bag seams came apart. I felt bad that my friends spent so much for my birthday and the product did not last. I took the bag to a Coach store and they sent it to the factory to be repaired. Instead of repairing they sent me the gift card.

4) Thanks for letting me listen to the wonderful "Shuffle Concert" at the new Madison Theatre at Molloy College. Eliran Avni the creative director of this small chamber ensemble came up with a unique way to revitalize classical music. The young very talented group was astounding. In this venue the audience gets to choose from 34 pieces which music the group will perform. They played, classical, Romantic, Jazz, Broadway, Latin a varied repertoire. The violinist Sean Lee and the oboist Hassan Anderson were virtuosos. To top off the evening our group was interviewed by a reporter for the NY Times.

Create a Sharing Thanks Journal with someone to cultivate a Grateful Heart

Image
    I am very thankful for this very special Christmas gift given to me by my daughter Liz. She made me a Sharing Thanks Journal. I love her heart design and the picture of us she printed to adorn the inside of this very special journal. The best gift of all was that we used the journal together to practice gratitude. She wrote the first entry listing four things she was thankful for and passed the journal back to me. We use the journal to share what we are thankful for. It has helped me practice gratitude and has helped me and my daughter connect on a deeper level. It is wonderful to have a dialogue where we share our blessings. I love writing my thanks and sharing what brings me joy. It could be a beautiful sunset, or a kind smile a stranger gave me. I love learning about what my daughter is thankful for. I recommend sharing a journal with someone special to help your gratitude practice. It will allow you to focus on counting your joys and help you connect to someon...

Thankful for Chihuly's impressionistic water reflections at New York Botanical Gardens

Image
I love sharing beautiful spaces with fellow friends who appreciate the impact of art fused with nature. So thankful to my friend Liz who invited me to go see the current Chihuly exhibit at the New York Botanical Gardens. I loved how Chihuly's pieces enhanced the beauty of the main greenhouse exhibits. We were blessed with a crisp fall day with blue skies. I took this video to capture the wave of colors undulating that looked like painter's brush strokes in the water. Below is the glass work that made these beautiful reflections. If you live in the New York area I recommend you go to the New York Botanical Gardens to enjoy this artist's brilliant work. The NYBG also has some fun fall displays. My friend and I enjoyed posing with pumpkin man. Below are a few more pictures from the greenhouse that illustrate how well this artist's work merges with nature. Hope you are enjoying this autumn season. Please share a fall activity that your thankful for! If ...
