Someone's watching out for my family

In the span of 8 hours this weekend, miles apart from each other, my family averted tragedy by the grace of God, whatever God might be. I am a spiritual person but am not aligned with any particular faith. I believe that something does guide us, I'm just not sure what. Whatever that guide is I am... Sign in to see full entry.

New discoveries on New Years Day

Things to be grateful for on the first day of 2005: 1. A DVD fest of Sex and the City - one after the other, for 6 hours!! Sounds pathetic but it was just what I wanted to do today. 2. Eating all unhealthy food while watching aforementioned DVDs. 3. Finding a red wine that goes well with BBQ Fritos. Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas Night Gratitude

This year has been filled with joy and sorrow. Sometimes the sorrow has threatened to overshadow the joy. I will try extra hard to keep the joy of memories and new experiences in my mind as much as I can. Today was bittersweet. I had my family around me, including a sweet, sweet baby boy who looks...

Christmas

With all that has happened this year I still feel truly blessed with: 1. Family that watch out for me 2. Friends, even ones I haven't yet met, who check in to make sure I'm ok and understand the pain (thank you Symph, Jemmie and Wiley) 3. Simple things like a cozy chair to curl up in, lights...

It's quiet, and I'm content (sorta)

A quiet house, a fluffy robe, a cool glass of wine 2. A new picture of the most beautiful baby 3. Chatting with a new friend, and laughing... Sign in to see full entry.

A couple of things to be grateful for

1. New friends 2. A nice case of gastric upset (no more adjectives needed, it isn't pretty) that prevented me from going to work today. The weather is freezing rain, snow, gale winds today so the commute would have been putrid. Sign in to see full entry.

Grateful in the face of sadness

It's been difficult to find things to be grateful for since I've lost the only man I've truly loved. I've searched and found a few: 1. Friends, some I've never met (here) who have sent kind words and positive energy my way. 2. Memories of a man who loved me unconditionally and wasn't afraid to be... Sign in to see full entry.

Scents, sounds and sights

Things that have made me smile today: Waking this morning with the feeling that my lover was close to me though I know he is gone from me forever, The fresh, warm scent of the tiny baby I held in my arms, The crisp fall air on my face as I tramped through the leaves, The wonderous blue sky streaked...
