Wow a few days have gone by since my last post. The weather has turned cool but I am soo grateful we didn't get the snow that Alberta has received. We need some good weather to get the crops off this year.
I am grateful that this past weekend was warm, and I got my yard cleaned up, have to rake leaves once they fall, but at least the flower pots, furniture and lawn ornaments are put away for now.

When you are Grateful new doors will open for you!!

Yesterday my neighbor called me and offered me some wonderful veggies from her garden. I don't grow a gardern (I know!!) so I was grateful to recieve a bag of carrots, tomatoes, corn on the cob, onions and potatoes. I live in such a wonderful community with wonderful neighbors. I can't tell you how often the neighborhood pulls together for one another. Such a blessing when you know you have that support around you.
I am so Grateful for each one of them!! Cheers and have a great weekend!

When you are GRATEFUL new doors will open for you!

Happiness

Happiness is a choice, choose to be grateful and happiness will follow. Just my thought for the day. How is Sept. 1st already??? Love fall it is my favorite time of year, but wasn't ready for it this year, summer went by way to fast, but I am grateful for the fun filled, busy summer that I experienced. Fall is in the air and that makes me grateful for the new season and happy for the fall days ahead. Enjoy your day!

I choose Joy!!

Sorry folks I haven't felt up to posting much lately, but I still choose to be grateful and Joy over feeling sorry for myself! It's hard but it is healthy. Migraines have been brutal lately! Anyone else suffer from them?? Please share what works for you!! Have a great long weekend everyone, I plan on watching the labor day classic, football is one of my favorite sports to watch and of course I am a Rider Fan!!

Believe

This is one of my favorite quotes, and Believe is my favorite word. So much to say about these threes little words. Just wanted to share this with everyone. Have a great long weekend everyone, and remember to be grateful for all that you receieve!

Pay It Forward

Have you ever done a Pay it Forward?? The feeling of giving something to a random person is one like no other. I have done several "pay it forwards" with Facebook were you do a pay it forward to the first 5 who respond. It was great to show up with a gift or send something to those farther away a little surprise in the mail. Once, while we were staying at a hotel in the city, I lost my cell phone somewhere. I was frantic, as it was a new iPhone 5. Luckily for me, the key cards for the hotel were in the case with my phone and the lady who found it was honest enough to return it to the front desk. I was actually tracking the phone with the 'Find my iPhone" app. (download it now, if you don't have it already!!) and we could see it was at the hotel, so went down to the front desk and they were just trying to call our room. I hugged the lady and asked if I could give her something, she just replied "No", just glad to help out!! Well I was so GRATEFUL that the next day I went to Tim Horton's and bought a cup of tea and paid with a $50, and told the cashier to keep the change and pay for the next orders until the money was gone!! It felt great to do something anonymous.
I truly feel that what you give out will come back to you, maybe even 10 times what you give out. Today, I gave a way 4 bags of clothes to someone who was very grateful to receive them. I have done quite a bit of shopping lately, and my closets over runneth!! So I housecleaned them and offered them for FREE on Facebook and had several replies. It makes you feel good to help out. Even in today's world, there are still people who have financial issues, I was there once and who is to say that I won't be there again. So give people, give (if you can)!! You will thank yourself!!
Pay it forward, and be Grateful!!
