Family, Home, Together 

Gratefulness wrapped up in a package of times together. Take the time to pay attention, an attempt to really see, to listen, to be all present with them all.



  • Family - together around the table
  • re-reading the poem above the sink : Dirty dishes = evidence of blessing (and we have dirty dishes to prove the blessings)
  • "Cling to JOY: audacious and unbridled joy, that looks for light in every thing, even in your waiting."  -Morgan Harper Nichols
  • R and J - so sweet, so much fun. Grandbabies delight
  • Duolingo French - start learning something new
  • reading Beth Chatto - Drought Resistant Planting - her plant/word pictures are amazing, love her perspective
  • first freeze, first snow - fall days becoming winter
  • "While sight is an ability, seeing remains an art." Hidden Half of Nature
  • finished two books I've been stalled on - now, on to more interesting reading
  • fall leaves dancing, spinning on the freeway like a choreographed ballet
  • time with the girls - their stories and challenges and smiles
  • concert - Idina Mendez, Josh Groban, wow! amazing, inspiring, beautiful
  • diving headfirst into NaNoWriMo - accepting the challenge, willing to make the change to daily writing
  • C to vet - simple, easy, except she's so scared, leaned on A
  • a fun flute lesson - more play than work
  • W's surgery (dog) - long recovery for a recalcitrant patient
  • W's reversals - backwards more than forward healing progress
  • J here!
  • Gift of time thru disappointment (3 day delay in arrival)
  • Half-way, NaNoWriMo word count
  • P and J here
  • SSKB here
  • Thanksgiving thankfulness
  • full house
  • request for gardening articles in PWView
  • article in newspaper and From Ground Up out on the same day
  • flute rehearsal with professional pianist and pro flutist, fun!
  • emails with Jane - appreciate her!
  • NaNoWriMo accomplished!
  • next day, began new novel
  • six broccoli plants still alive, even with the crazy cold
  • Cheyenne Mntn Electric Safari with TVES, counting animal shaped lights, found 70, supposedly 85 but didn't ride tramway to the top.
