05/17/2017 – Gratitude Challenge Day 7

I want to share my gratitude today on the topic of forgiveness.  While I am not always the best with this one I am very grateful of the act of forgiving.  I do my best on this, but like most things if not all I have room to grow.  Holding onto things hurts you orContinue reading “05/17/2017 – Gratitude Challenge Day 7”

05/16/2017 – Gratitude Challenge Day 6

I am so grateful for music.  It has the power to change moods in seconds.  I cannot imagine a world without music.  I think back to the movie The Shawshank Redemption when the main character Andy locks himself in the wardens office and plays a record that costs him time in the hole.  He makes a commentContinue reading “05/16/2017 – Gratitude Challenge Day 6”

Wow what a revelation, All the things that I get upset about in others are things I am seeing that I am guilty of myself more than I know.  Being impatient, not cleaning up after yourself, judging, poor communication, etc.  I did not realize until I heard the phase that is also the title ofContinue reading “05/07/2017 – If You Spot It You Got It…”
