Daily Gratitude - Day One (Jan. 1. 2011)

The only way to form a habit is to try.  To start.  To do that thing daily.  I often tie myself up into knots over the things which I don't or 'can't' do.  It is time to find some freedom from my own thinking.  From myself.  It is time to decide to try.  It is time to say 'I can, I will, I do' iustead of 'I can't, I don't'.  Today that means I will start working on my new commitment and write

daily gratitude, january first

1.  I am grateful that my family and I are safely home, in our own home, after two weeks away.  I love my family... both the one I was born into and the one I married into... but it is wonderful to be back within the walls of this house, in this town, in this state.  I love it here.  I love this mountain.  And I love being here with Greg, Owen and Cora.  I am lucky.
2.  I am grateful for the artistic inspirations I have found in the form of bloggers.  These women are creative forces with their art and their lives.  They think.  They go inward.  They search their souls.  They take all that they know and put it into words, art and photography and share it with me.  I am awed.
3.  I am grateful for Girl Scouts.  As a girl I was blessed by good leaders and good friends who shared the experience with me.  Now, as a leader I am blessed even more because I can share it with my own daughter.  It is fun.  And I love the chance to play and learn together.
