Gratitude Day 17

 My day was planned for unpacking, laundry, rest. Unfortunately,  I discovered that we had no internet or phone service! I couldn't call about the internet and I couldn't go online to research the phone. I felt trapped. So - I did what any daughter would do! I drove to mom's! She was excited and happy to have me drop in. 

I am grateful for a mother who always has time for me.



Gratitude Day 16

 Tuesday. Last leg to home. I understand that I missed some rather nasty cold weather while enjoying Bavaria.

Getting close to home! Yes... snow on the ground


And I am home.  Just before sunset. What a long day. I am grateful for home.

Gratitude Day 15

 Thankful for wee art inspiration! My daughter gave me a microwave glass kiln last year. I am inspired to get it out again.

Gratitude Day 14

 It's 4 am and I can't sleep. The quiet, extreme quiet, is so peaceful. I hear nothing. At this moment I am thankful for the quiet. I hear my own breath and nothing more. Can I hear myself thinking? What do thoughts sound like? 


My random thoughts include recording this place and time. I don't want to forget how peaceful I can feel, just listening to the quiet. Can a photo hold more than just a memory?

 I am grateful for simple beauty.  A moss covered tree caught my eye. So lovely!

Gratitude Day 12

 Humor. I am thankful for a good laugh. There are still moments from my childhood that bring a laugh and a warmth that only I can understand.  

There are silly things our children do



A silly mom smile


Or a photo of me with horns!


It's good to laugh!


Gratitude Day 11

 I am grateful for art studio works to inspire me on my artful journey.  These amazing glass pieces were at a gallery in Rattenberg Austria.
