Before the Grand Finale
Blog City ~ What are you thankful for this week?

Sometimes, especially when moments (that may seem to last forever), do not quite produce the results that I so desire, I may become momentarily despondent. I use the term momentarily, as I have learned throughout many trials experiences in my life that in order to find things to be thankful for, I often need to stop grasping for the grand, and come back to the here and now, where lie a multitude of what some may consider trivial things for which to be thankful.

And...why not, as most of us live in these so-called moments, where the small blessings in life surround us, if we would only slow down, disengage from the distractions that prevent us so, and allow these things to drift to the surface.

All of this is not to say that one should not have ambition. Yes...please...have this in Abundance! Just do not forget that failure often comes before the grand finale. Even when one experiences failure of some sort, the myriad, often unnoticed blessings just might sustain you.

Some of the trivial things that I am thankful for are ~

Nice, hot coffee in the morning. *CoffeeO* (Who am I kidding...All Day Long!)

Finding a parking spot Far from the door ( the Back 40....have to Force myself to get some steps in Somehow. *Wink*

Missing landmines *Dropo**DropO* at night in my Bare feet...as my elderly (rather Large Pooch) is losing some Potty Control...Yikes!

Making it to work and back without running out of gas (but then having to get some the following morning...wee hours...still dark...sigh).

When the store delivers Yellow *Bananas*...not the green ones that take WEEKS to ripen.

Warm socks on a cold day....GROSS...just kidding...Absolutely ABHOR socks! I wear the Barely There pantyhose type that gives the appearance of wearing NONE at all with my converse....Probably Grosses people out! Does Wonders for keeping them at a distance...*Laugh*

When a song comes on the radio on the way to work that keeps me Awake...not puts me to *Sleeping*.

Leftovers from my favorite dishes... but husband has had enough...More for Me.

The sound of rain and distant thunder when I am inside, nice and cozy with a Book...Nope...just Kidding...causes more *DropO**DropO*Landmines!

When I drop my phone 10 times in one day and it has yet to CRACK!

Laughing at something Funny Myself! Why Not?!

Quiet moments before the pollution (noise/distractions) of the day begin or once everything finally slows down (Me Time)

My Loving husband actually washing dishes that he puts in the sink, shortly after a mess he makes for himself...Woo-hoo!!

A Nice, Warm day, in which I keep saying I am going to Hog-Tie and give my Beast of a dog a bath, but....Yeah, well...
