Yep, gratitude and small-scale appreciation is the name of the game, one day at a time, one gift or pleasure at a time. So glad to share the perspective with you!! I just read your piece on attitude of gratitude, and I love what you said about the 2 levels... both the immediate feeling and then the universal reward. Bingo!! xoxo Have a beautiful day, can't wait to have time to read more of your blog & recipes!Marie at the Lazy Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11499662322233018616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-80545920389081099672012-05-15T16:49:39.545-07:002012-05-15T16:49:39.545-07:00This is just beautiful.

That last phrase makes my heart sing. Like <i>The hills are alive...</i> kind of singing. It makes my soul soar. I dig the beginning too, but the last part set me adrift.<br /><br />And this: <b><i>By the Way, Someone is Grateful for You, Too.</i></b> made me cry a little bit. All this catching up on blog posts is making me teary-eyed. <br /><br />I miss you!<br /><br />xoxoMargihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380912871792176901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-74343218530835552052012-05-12T04:40:45.549-07:002012-05-12T04:40:45.549-07:00Once again you've summed up exactly how I feel...Once again you've summed up exactly how I feel about my life right now.

A year ago in July I ...Tears...tears...and more.... A year ago in July I was travelling to Oklahoma from my home in Arkansas. I passed a field where some cows were standing in the barren spot that once was a pond. The dream shot through me - oh to be a photographer for the National Geographic and have my trusty camera to preserve the moment. No camera on me that day, the sight though is etched into the film of my mind. I have been to the pond that once was. I have stood waiting for relief.<br /><br />Flipping the stone though, I also danced in the rain today. I love that in 7 days I will walk into a new chapter of my life that will refresh a part of the dream of my soul that has been barren. Today a hope, tomorrow... well, tomorrow, may the windows to my soul be receptive to not overlook the rock soup or chocolate fountain that I may be found entertaining.<br /><br />The life in your fields or the despair in your chapters... they all weave together the fabric of our life. Overwhelmingly grateful that the family from The (Not So) Lazy W are now apart of mine. Wow... whatta good book, a little rain, Mr. T style bling and a dose of beeeelivin in grattitude will do for a day!

"<br />You have a way of seeing the lushness that surrounds you. If only we look, it is there. You and your beautiful words are one of the things for which I am grateful. Your lightness and good manages to always lift me up and out of myself and remember to look around and savor everything. Bless you for that.<br />Also, Grapes of Wrath is one of my all-time favorite books.TangledLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771682524596744447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843846398320473138.post-69359238522381458942012-05-11T15:57:55.875-07:002012-05-11T15:57:55.875-07:00Thank you!

(not a good quote, just an estimation): that if the only prayer you ever utter is thank you, that's enough. I just love that. Happy Mother's Day to you!!
