What a nice inspiration to wake up to. I work part time and today is one of my work days, but I am blessed to love my little job. So today I shall be grateful for what I do and celebrate the weekend by taking a walk by the bay at sunset and wrapping myself in the sounds of the geese on the water preparing to go south.

It's a perfect summer day today, I will not lose sight of the beauty.

Your post made me smile!! Started my day with my daily ritual of removing the cushions off the back of our couch and meeting my husband there at 5:30am for 40 minutes of conversation and coffee before we race out the door to work. We sit facing each other with our backs against the arms. Just before we part ways for the day we take turns reading from "courage to change" and "hope for today". We've been meeting on the couch every morning for 5 years, since the loss of a beloved friends made us realize the importance of this connection. We've been doing the daily readings for about a year. Sure this ritual means the loss of extra sleep but it has brought me so much laughter, comfort and insight I wouldn't trade it for the world. He has left to take the dog for a walk now and I typically do a check in here then finish up getting ready. Your post really touched me. I'm so glad you have something special planned with your lovely daughter today. Get out there and enjoy every second of it! Which is exactly what I'm gonna do!

Yay!

I have today off work. I'm going to cuddle with my little doggie while I read and meditate this morning. Hmmmmm.....later have coffee/tea with my dear mother (always lots of laughter). And clean my car out. I'll take a walk and enjoy a lovely Pacific Northwest Summer day and be grateful that I am alive and healthy.

This morning I walked the dogs in the blistering heat, but just watching them enjoy our activity, no matter the temperature, makes it easier for me to sweat through it with a grin. They have never, ever, not even once complained about the weather when we go out. Every day is a great, exciting, brand new day for them. I love that.

Afterwards, I did a long Pilates session. It was hard work, but I am thankful that my body is strong and capable, and I want to keep it that way. I was once down for several months due to invasive surgery, and while I was completely immobilized during the healing process I promised myself that I would never dread working out again. By the time I had totally regained my strength about a year later my attitude towards myself and my body had changed dramatically. I'm not at the perfect weight and I'm no match for the models in my fitness magazines, but my body is healthy and strong and capable, and I am thankful for that. I am thankful for that every day.

Thank you for this thread! I love reading all of the shares!
