Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

2/16/2012

It is hard to believe that it is Friday already.  I think it is safe to say that along with posting about what I am most grateful for each Friday I am also hoping to make it a habit to link to Paint Party Friday.  I really enjoy painting and it is fun to be able to share my work with such encouraging and inspiring artists. 
This has been a week filled with rain, mud, and construction workers.  It has also been a week filled with Valentine's candy and birthday celebrations.  I am grateful for all of it except for the mud.  I could definitely do without the mud.  It has been a pretty ordinary week but even in a week that is fairly routine there are special moments.  A hug from my grandsons, an email from a friend, an inspiring quote on a blog, and hearing my husband say just a week after his surgery, "I think I can breathe better today"  are all things that I am very grateful for.  This has been another ordinary week filled with many special moments.  It is amazing how many things you can find to enjoy and celebrate when you take the time to appreciate all of the little things that make life so special.    I would love to know what you are most grateful for this week.

PS  The painting above was done to help me remember a very special time long ago.  I have always loved the beach and when we were first married we lived for three years at the beach.  It was a special time but it is only now that I realize how very special it was.  I am grateful that I have such wonderful memories of being a very lucky but naive newlywed almost 45 years ago.

So glad you are doing PPF! I have found it to be a wonderful place for fantastic people. Love how you did the sea and sky - it is tough when they are both blue, but you did it magnificently!

Very glad to hear about your husband's breathing better. I am posting from another computer as I now can not even view you from my computer at home. It says that my IP has been blocked now. Anyways I will read a few of your past posts. I thoroughly enjoy your blog and have missed it.

What a nice post. I, too had a very busy week because in addition to Valentine's Day, my husband's birthday is on the 16th. It's a lot of work for me, and sometimes I lose sight of enjoying the ordinary moments. Your beach painting is very sweet. Have a nice week.

It is charming and looks like an idyllic way to have spent the first years of marriage.

Dreaming by the sea side.........wow 45 years married....congrats.
Sometimes we aren't aware of special moments while lively them but reflecting back when sitting quietly, some trickle back and we remember, the mind is tricky that way ; )
Very lovely painting and so glad to hear hubby is doing okay.

I have life to be grateful for, even in it's darkest shade.
