And what's to follow is today Gratitude: I tiptoe into the kitchen with my current read under my arm. I brew a cup of tea and spread a few graham crackers with peanut butter and find my husbands slippers. With my arms full of a few of my favorite things, I set up in the backyard with the early birds and the morning sun. Great way to start the day! and a it's a Monday!
My intention for this blog is to create a habit of Gratitude. I want to have a more positive outlook on my life and be happy with what IS instead of what is NOT. I truly feel a struggle with this on a daily basis...feeling I am working to dismiss the disappointment and the "I want..." instead of the "I have..." I will seek to find joy in the everyday! This blog will be my report of joy.

Up at Dawn
Seriously?!?! I ask myself this at 5:15 this morning. My eyes are open and I feel rested but it is much too early to be awake - on a vacation day - for no reason. For nearly 35 minutes, I wish myself back into slumber...it's not going to happen. So I decide to get up. The children are seemingly still deep in dreamland. My husband...always deep in dreamland until much later into the morning!

Welcome to blogworld! I like the idea of your blog and try to follow it myself on my blog. It's so easy to slip into negativity and critical pessimism. Finding joy is more of a challenge but I think it is a habit that can be developed and benefits not only ourselves but all those we are connected with.
