Gratitude enables us to live a life of simplicity and ease, to appreciate what we have and to stop the need for more.

My amazing grandchildren!!

The simple kindness and compassion, support and wisdom received from strangers during this difficult time in our lives have proven to be gifts from heaven for my family.

I would send a cheery note to a dear friend in a nursing home, reminding her that I think of her often and cherish our memories.

I am rich in my multitude of blessings which allows me to live simple and easy with gratefulness.

My new role as a caregiver has opened my world to many new and challenging experiences…..all pushing me out of my comfort zone and showing me my true inner strength and courage, wisdom and knowledge.

By sharing all that I am and all that I have, gracefully.

Mental health, both n challenging times and during peaceful seasons.

Walk beside them and be their friend.

By living in the present and holding it close to my heart always.

Gratefulness enables me to let go of the past and to heal in the present

Patience is a virtue.

A wonderful phone call from my grandchildren….pure joy!

Free my heart from hatred. Free my mind from worries. Live simply. Give more. Expect less and enjoy every moment.

Accept the things that I cannot change.

Gratefulness wraps around the heart and provides a feeling of warmth and protection, an experience I feel often

A Great Dane named Cole….a “gentle giant” who is kind, caring, protective and provides unconditional love always. Definitely a “hidden gem” with a human soul.

By the ocean in the sea breeze with the sunrise bringing a new day. Nature’s power at its finest.

Early morning coffee while watching the sunrise and welcoming this new day with endless possibilities and opportunities.

Hold tight to my faith during challenging times and remain grateful for all that I have and all that I am.
