beautiful day

Thank you God, for the simplicity, yet awesomeness of beautiful days...whether they be cloudy or clear blue....they are all from you. Thank you for another day. I love you God. (Even though I don't tell you as often I should)...-cc

JOY&GRATITUDE DAY 30

Wow!!!! I can't believe it's been 3o days since my "3o days of JOY & GRATITUDE" Challenge. I actually made it (with a few bumpy days) but not as many as I expected. Last night was tough on me, including a couple of days before that, but luckily I was distracted long enough to move from that moment of sadness. Today was hard as well, during a meeting I attended. Otherwise, I am thankful to make it through my first blog challenge. Anyway, for day 30!!!!!.....

today i am thankful for:
yummy home cooked meal from Mum.

& my delicious "clean eating" breakfast (oatmeal w/vanilla almond milk, bananas, cranberries, & honey) yumma!!!!!!!!!!!!



I am also thankful that my family is here with me today and that they are alive and well. Many people lost their loved ones twelve years ago on this day. Bless those who have been robbed of their mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters during the tragic events of 9.11 "we will never forget"

JOY&GRATITUDE DAY 17

I miss you; knowing you, opened my heart; killed it and closed my mind. 

I'm still on the 30 day challenge of joy and gratitude, but it's getting harder with the thought of missing you and the joy you gave me; the joy I wished was still here with me. 

today i am thankful for:
Lu (the only thing giving me comfort at the moment)

JOY&GRATITUDE DAY 13

I feel trapped. This evening, my mood has dropped after working on plans to fix my life. It's so much to clean up without a clear direction as to where to start. That's all for today; I am thankful for my bed; I'm going to sleep my sorrows away for tonight. :(
