| The proud artist and some of her work... :-) |
Lately, so much has happened in my circle of friends that has got me thinking about what is really important. It also had me realize how much I have in my life to be grateful for! So, I decided that my word for next year, what I really want to focus on, is gratitude.
And then I thought: "Why wait until next year?" So, starting immediately, I am going to add five things I am grateful for at the end of every blog post. And if I have nothing else to blog about that day, I will still post the gratitude list.
Connected with that I have decided to really focus on my blog and yours much more than I had this previous year. I have realized again these last few weeks just what a very special community we have here. We are kindred spirits who would (probably) not have found each other without the internet. It truly amazes me.
So, in the new year (I won't have time before then as we'll be traveling a bit and then visiting family) there will be some fun changes to my blog and you'll see me around much more visiting yours!

Today, I am grateful for:
- being able to sit on our back porch in the sunshine
- being able to enjoy the day with Daniel
- having talked with my sister this morning
- being connected to all of you
- my cold feeling much better this morning
Oh Silke, das stimmt! Und ich bin zum Beispiel dankbar wieder da zu sein. Ich hab Euch alle sehr vermisst! Aber ebenso dankbar war ich auch für die tollen Tage in Marroko!
ReplyDeleteSilke, I used to keep a gratitude journal. Thank you for your post because I'm going to start another one. I too am grateful for meeting so many wonderful people from all over the world. The Internet has become such a terrific venue for meeting new people, reading about their lives, country, traditions and their attitudes.
ReplyDeleteRight now, as I type these words, I'm grateful for you being part of my circle of wonderful people. Muchas Gracias.
xxoo,
Georgina

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea about the 5 things to be grateful for. And nice, too, to see you at the gallery...an artist, among artists. :-]

Dieses Gefühl der Dankbarkeit, das kenne ich! Es ist da, fast jeden Tag, dass mein Leben so geworden ist, dass es so viele glückliche Momente und so viel inneren Frieden gibt jetzt.

Dear Silke,
ReplyDeleteyou are right, and I thank every morning for my most loved people, and for being here. Also through the day I am reminded of how fortunate I am.
And that goes as well for being here in this blogging world. I am more than grateful, for all the friendship and love I have met after starting my blog, and I hope I will alwayes be able to visit, and connect with all the wonderful persons I have met, you being one of them- even we don`t talk that much :)
Hugs and love, Dorthe
Dear Silke,
ReplyDeleteI like the way that you think!
Listing what you are grateful for, that's a lovely idea.
Beautiful post, I think gratitude is a wonderful word to focus on I think I will make it my word for the next year too.
