Gratitude creates it’s own attitude. It can give you a new perspective, a new focus. I am going to use this day as my opportunity to see those things.
My life seems to be about organizing lately. My stuff, other people’s (and animal’s) stuff, my activities, other people’s (and animal’s) activities… and on, and on…
Yes, I’m being redundant, but I get to go to TDR for the entire Memorial Day weekend. I’m really looking forward to it. We’ll do work to get ready (organizing) for the meeting, of course, but I’ll also get to visit with Lil and Vin. And my family is coming too!
I am grateful for my sanity. That I am pretty level headed and have worked through many of the issues that my childhood and growing up created. I’ve seen a few things in the last year that have made me remember this. It seems normal to me and I have to realize how blessed I am, sometimes by seeing others less so.
Enlightened Horsemanship’s recent blog post made me think about my purpose in working with horses. There definitely is one, besides the obvious that it’s fun, I like the smell of them, etc. Why do I like training, working with young horses, always trying something new? I rarely end up doing the same thing more than a few times. I am going to be thinking about this more as time passes. I’m grateful that she brought up the question… I know that there is something in it about improving, building consciousness, in both myself and the horse. As I train them and expose them to new ideas, they seem to grow in intelligence, not just physical skills. I love that. And I do too. I find it a rather amazing process really. And one that I hope to explore for many more years to come. I hope to also be exploring these ideas in words more as I continue my equine journey. Thanks, Kim!
Take a few minutes today to create your own Thankful Thursday.
How:
Sit back and consider what you have to be thankful for. Listing three to five things is nice, but one will do.

This week, I have to say that Thursday snuck up on me! I started a class in Project Management on Tuesday and I’ve been working on how to get the last 50 or so bales of hay from my old barn. (That happens tonight!) My back doesn’t allow me to do that moving on my own anymore. So on to what I’m thankful for today….

Today I am grateful for Simple Things.
The Punjabi cha that my husband leaves for me every work day. He goes to work before I wake up and makes exta cha for me!
I am generally pretty healthy. Sure there are things here and there, but overall, there is nothing seriously wrong with me right now.
My dog, Shadow, who has created joy during his life far outweighing any expense or trouble. He is a gem!
So those are mine today. What are yours??

Ah, well today, I will list several things…
My wonderful husband, who does most of the cooking and grocery shopping in our household with little complaint, who has stuck by me for a month short of twenty-three years now.
That I am alive today. I have the opportunity to reinvent myself every day.
That I can laugh with my son. We relate on a geeky level. Yes, we both have that bent.
Furthermore, I am thankful for the gifts I’ve received this time around; insight; the ability to create, to share my visual images; and depth in my connections.
