February 1

I am proud of myself for only missing one day on the blog during the month of January.  Remember, I am trying to be grateful for something EVERYDAY in 2012.  It is said that positive attitude becomes contagious and brings about opportunity. But a negative attitude sours and take things away.  I would rather be positive.  Some days it seems difficult to find something to be thankful for, but when I quiet my heart, I can always find something.  Today, it is the gift of friendship.  It is wonderful to have friends who are encouragers.  They inspire you to keep going.  They just seem to "know the right thing" to say.  I am in a point in my life of reassessing.  The kids are now grown, I love my job, but retirement isn't too far off.  I know I've always said I'll work until the day I die, but it would be nice to have a little bit of cushion to help along the way.  So it is that I am seeking options.  That's why I'm grateful for friends who know my heart, and be supportive while I find my answers.  God is definitely stirring my heart.  I'm trying to get in tune. :)
