So - What's it gonna be?

Today is yet another opportunity to make choices:

• what do I eat for breakfast?
• dark magic or donut shop coffee from the Keurig?
• does the dog get a crunchy dog biscuit or one of her special bacon treats after performing her morning constitutional?
• oh, and can't forget the wardrobe for the day - will I be leaving the house (which forces a certain level of decorum) or do I get to just hang around the house for the day?
• then there is the all important attitude... will I pattern my outlook after the concept "the glass is half full" or will I be more like Eeyore?

Circumstances come and go. I can moan about the rain or think of it as "liquid sunshine."  We all have the chance to make choices in our lives.  So, what's it gonna be?

I am Grateful for...

• My Faith = it is the foundation of my existence.
• My Health:  this coming week promises to be busy and filled with diverse activities.  I am so thankful that the sinus infection that knocked me on my butt is out of my system.
• My Husband:  Mike is the most understanding man I've ever had in my life.  He supports me in all my endeavors (even when he secretly thinks they could be hare-brained schemes).
• My Family and Friends:  they have been and always will be a fabulous support system for me.
• My technical abilities and my love of learning.  These really go hand-in-hand because so much of my computer skills have been gleaned from watching techies tinker with my computers and the premise that "if it is already broken, what harm could come from messing with it?"

I am a firm believer in keeping a gratitude journal.  Each evening, right before I hit the sack, I take a few minutes to jot down items from my day for which I am grateful.  Saturday evening I made an entry:  "I am grateful Steve has a check for Mike."  (Steve is the contractor my hubby sub-contracts under).  The very next day, the hubster picked up a check from the guy.

Allow me to introduce myself....

Hi, my name is Sheila and I ...

• ...am that person who will remind you that God loves you
• ...am a happily married lady of a certain age
• ...think that if I raise my voice when making my point, that people will agree with me more readily
• ...have become an fitness junkie over the last year
• ...love to be creative (and sometimes my ideas work out JUST the way I planned)
• ...seek inspiration everywhere I look
• ...am a voracious reader (and usually carry a book with me in case I get an opportunity to read)
• ...am the comic relief (sometimes people apologize for laughing & I get to reassure them that it is okay, I was being goofy on purpose TO make you laugh)

I'm sure there is more I could add, but I will stop myself here (for now).
