Celebrating 2023: A Month of Gratitude – Day 1

Gratitude is like food for the soul. I am celebrating 2023 by spending each day in December reflecting on and, being grateful for, my blessings this year. Join me. Perhaps you will be inspired to do the same.

Wow, here we are again. Day 1 of the final month of the year. I have so much to reflect on and lots to be grateful for.

2023 has been a journey like no other. A few dreams have come true. Some are on their way there. The losses have been learnings and the near misses have been eye openers. I mean where do I even begin?

Let’s start at the beginning. Reaching 50 has been a wonderful blessing. I said that my 50’s are going to be my best decade yet at the beginning of this year and it has definitely started well! I feel like this year I really came into myself. I still have lots of work to do but I have never been as comfortable in my own skin or as happy to be as I have been this year.

The reality is that not much has changed materially in my world but I have changed and that has made all the difference.

Wishing you abundant blessings in every moment.

Why do I write

Bloganuary Day 6

Today’s prompt: Why do you write?

I love writing! It’s taken me years to acknowledge and accept it simply because I didn’t think I could ever hold anyone’s attention with my attempts at writing but here we are. 💃

I wrote about this very topic back in 2017 which you can read here. I still write for the same reasons and, in all honesty, I don’t think I can write it as well now as I did back then.

31 Days of Gratitude – Day 31

Yay! It’s less than an hour until 2023!!!! I am so excited to see what this new year brings. No doubt there will be ups and downs as there are every year. I have a feeling though that this coming year will be filled with a lot more ups than usual so I am grateful in advance for all the blessings coming my way. 😁😁😁

My son is gone again but I am glad that he is with family and occupied rather that dwelling on the fact that he was supposed to be with his dad this holiday. He is safe where he is and he is happy and that’s all I can ask for. I am very grateful for this as well.

Let me end by saying thank you to God for His grace and mercy as well as His love, generosity, protection and guidance throughout this year. Everything I have and I have overcome is because He made it so. I am learning that it’s easier to let go of things when you know the outcome is in God’s hands. It’s scary because the outcome may not be what you have planned but you just have to trust that it will be what you need and/or can handle.

Have a wonderful start to your 2023! May God pour his richest blessing upon you and your loved ones this year. Thank to all for visiting, reading, commenting and following my blog this year. I look forward to connecting again in 2023! 🥂
