Gratitude

March 24, 2009

I have all these good intentions to write THREE BLOGS every week, starting this week.  I thought it would be nice to start with how grateful I am with the world.  BUT, as I sit here waiting for some tech person to call me back, I am not feeling grateful at all.  I am actually torn about the entire subject.  You see I am grateful, most of the time for computers and printers and all the cool hi-tech stuff in my life.  But when it causes one teeny miniscule of inconvenience I not only forget about all the convenience I have had, and the bonus to all of the fast communications, but I get angry.  Seriously if I lose any time at all due to something I cannot figure out then I just blame it all on the machine in front of me and the unknown person that does not jump high enough or fast enough for me.  What in the world is wrong with me.

So while I sit and I wait, exercising a modicum of patience I will list some things I love and adore.  I am sorry not to have picture to make this little exercise more visual, but that would mean leaving the computer and then when I get my much anticipated email I would miss the golden opportunity to solve my problems! Actually I am uploading pictures as I wait, and wait and wait for help.

 So not in any particular order I am grateful every single day for dogs!

Especially for Ruby and Buster.  I love these two dogs, and because they cannot read I will even confess to a teeny bit more love for Ruby.  I have had her longer and she is just the sweetest mutt that was lost and forelorn in my alley about 10 years ago.

I love my mama.  She is just a dream to know and I am so lucky to have her close by.  We take trips to the ocean together.  We see each other all the time.  And in her old age she has decided to become much more liberal in her thinking.  Now that is just ducky in my opinion!  I love Mama!

I love my husband.  Brian is just as cute as a bug.  He can be a real bug too, but he has a heart of gold and I feel lucky to have found him.  He does not appreciate good food for some strange reason but he has exceptional taste in every other area. That is rare for a man.

I love to play in the dirt.  That is evident from my earlier blogs.  I have some male genes I fear.  When it comes to shoes and how I like to get dirty I have some pretty masculine qualities.  But I love sparkly stuff and pretty clothes and jewelry, so I am still more girly.  I do not like to vacuum however.

I am so grateful that I am creative.  I just cannot imagine life any other way.  People say that I am a free spirit.  Now what in the Sam Hill does that mean anyway?  I also say what is on my mind to just about anyone.  I have tried to stiffle this, but it just did not work out for me.

 

Oh this one is really shallow  But I love love love my car.  It is so cute, and fun and I can hardly believe I own it.

  

Bringing home balloons after a party in my cute little car. Gave the balloons to the wide eyed little girl across the street.

Are these people ever going to get in touch with me so I can send out a newsletter?!?!?!?!?!?  I am not feeling grateful.  All the good thoughts above are just washing out with the tide. Pooh.

I am still grateful. So there.

Too bad about the hi-tech stuff (I hate "stuff" that doesn't work, too), but it was the nicest thing for you to write and me to read.  Thanks!

Awwww!  Ruby and Buster are too cute.  Well, not too cute, just right, perfect.  I could kiss them both.  I read that black dogs are the hardest to place if they're a shelter dog - so Ruby is very lucky to have a mama like you.  She may even love you a tad more than Buster.  Just kidding. I'm sure they adore you the same.  Really like your blog.  Will have to visit often.  Thanks for sharing.
