~~Daily Thanksgivings~~

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."

Winston Churchill

Good Monday Morning Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

1.  A nice relaxing day yesterday.

2.  That we can relax and enjoy this week without hustle and bustle (other than 2 days of work)

3.  That my sister and brother-in-law will be here in 2 days!

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?

Another good one Barb!

Today I am thankful for:

The chance to make tamales for my friends!

Having Ms V home with me for a few days!!

Counting down to San Bernardino and Vegas!!!

Barb! 

Thanks so much for this post.  This morning I was going to skip OH but then something (we all know who) said go and read Barb's post, she always has something incredible to say and it always fits what is going on with you.  Well once again you hit the nail on the head for me.  Yesterday I stook up and spoke and today I am waiting to sit and listen.  This could not be more perfect.  It reminds me to sit and listen that is why God gave us only one mouth and two ears we are supposed to listen twice as much as we speak!  What a novel thought!  lol.

I am thankful for so many things in my life....

1.  Friendship, with friends that love me even when I fart! (and that is pretty gross)

2.  Amazing kids that I can take anywhere and that love with such honesty and have such great compassion for others. (yesterday my 2 yo daughter was playing mama to a 1 year old at a party it was so cute to watch.  She was feeding her and helping her and it so warmed my heart to see the true compassion in a 2 year old)

3.  I am thankful that God can heal hearts and allow people to heal the wounds of this life.

4.  I am thankful for Barb who without fail comes to this board and posts each and every day.  It does not matter if she is having "A DAY" or what is going on with her life, she is here for us and gives us a place to look at the good in our lives.  An opportunity to turn the day from a negative into a positive no matter what.  Barb you are a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart full of compassion/love/forgivness for others.  May this be a wonderful Christmas for you and May this New Year bring only blessing to you and your family.  Give Isla a big hug for me along with Ron and have him give one to you from me. 


Blessings and Prayers for you!

Rhonda

Wonderful saying,  Barb! I do have to agree with Mr. Churchill. Listening is a skill, too.

Today I am thankful:

for family
for friends
for my belief in God
for second chances
for laughter
for tears, for without them Smiles wouldn't be cherished.
for wonderful winter days and nights
for my life

I am thankful for:

*A wonderful husband and loving family

*God's little miracle

*Finished Christmas shopping

Morning Barb and Happy Holidays to All!

Love the quote, Barb....sometimes we gotta speak up so others will open up so we can listen...both sides are sometimes so hard to get to ;-)

Today I am Thankful for:

Friends who give so much of themselves to others..what a blessing they are in our lives

Patience and the willingness to 'wait' things out...eventually God will reveal all

A cold, overcast day...because I'm in the office working and can not go out and enjoy any sunshine if it was here LOL

especially recognizing that for every negative..there is a flip side Positive!
Enjoy your day...we are blessed!
