Sharing thanks for another Sunny Winter Day


Saw some cool shadows walking Oreo today

It was over 60 degrees again today. I enjoyed walking my puppy in the beautiful sunshine. I love taking pictures for my blog, it is so much fun to caption some of the moments that bring me joy during the day. If you are new to the blog please join in the fun of sharing thanks by posting what you are thankful for in the comments.
Here are some of things I was thankful for today.

1) Thankful for my daughter Becky who is working hard in college. Got a letter in the mail from her university congratulating her for making the dean's list last semester. I took a picture of the certificate and picture texted it to her! So proud of her pursuing dreams as a film major.

2) Thankful to Dr. Zarat who was able to check my daughter Liz's ankle. Her sprain is getting better. Dr. Zarat was very kind in explaining to my daughter that even though she is still in pain she is getting better.

3) Thankful for seeing a beautiful sunset tonight in the Target parking lot. Liz and I took a few minutes to watch a golden sky. It so refreshing to take a minute and just appreciate a fleeting moment of beauty. It is amazing how even a parking lot can be beautiful.

4) Thankful for my good friends. Enjoyed catching up with my friend Liz today. She is so talented. Praying that the PR firm makes a good decision and hires her!

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 someone in a lo

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
