Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 21

Today was an other long day... lessons, school, rehearsals, and a band concert.  Still... being a long day didn't mean there weren't little miracles here and there. Today I am grateful that when I came home there were a few Christmas decorations up, thanks to my oldest daughter making time to hang them. I am… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 21

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 15

Many years ago, when my oldest children were little, we didn't have much.  We barely were able to meet our bills and feed our family.  The holiday season wasn't a joyous season.  It was a stressful season.  The materialism of Christmas was overwhelming.  Then, a lovely family introduced us to St. Nicholas Day.  From that… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 15

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 12

I started the day with a full schedule... however... I had many students not show up.  Rather than being bitter that I had things scheduled and I will now lose out on the money, I am grateful.  I am so tired from  our whirl wind trip to Utah.  It's nice to get a little break.… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 12

Things I am grateful for before I tumble into bed... ... we made it home safe after 13.5 hours of driving, icy, crazy drivers, fog, etc. ... my bed!  I forgot my pillow and I didn't sleep well on the hotel mattress and nasty pillow.  I am so glad to be home,… Continue reading Developing an Attitude of Gratitude – Day 11
