Day 3
Today I am
grateful for laughter. And Trick or Treat. And college football. And good
music. And ice cream.
All which
made my day better, in spite of some darkness.
This week has
been filled with no resolution to my ongoing issue, daily 100 mile trips with a
loved one who is receiving radiation, visits to another hospital to see a
beloved uncle, images of Hurricane Sandy all over the news, political
nastiness...bad vibes all around.
But I laughed
with several family members today - always a good day, even in a hospital!
And my
Nittany Lions won again - always cause
for celebration.
And how can
anyone not dance, even in the car, when this comes on:
Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
with the stars up above in your eyes...
You know the night's magic seems to whisper
and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in
your blush
See, you're
smiling, aren't you??
And goblins
and Super Heroes and ghosts and skeletons came to my door this evening for
candy, leaving giggles as a trade-off. One kind of sugar for another!
AND I still
have almost 2 quarts of the best Butter Pecan ice cream in the world. More
sugar!! Strict rationing is in effect as it must last until March. But even a
spoonful is wonderful!
This hasn't
been the best week.
Gratitude is
still my choice.
How about
you?
Will you
choose gratitude in spite of, rather than because of?
November -
30 Days of Gratitude...will you join me?
We will talk
tomorrow...

I love reading your writing! Glad you got yourself some Butter Pecan. WHY did I not see you wearing the Birthday Helmet????
Oh Beth! I cannot resist a Moondance - even in the car. I'm a Van Morrison fan.
I choose gratitude because I feel it's a gift of immense value that God has given me to balance my difficult seasons to show me His presence, His provision and His compassion.
