Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

11/1/2012

Some weeks are easier to find things to be grateful for than others.  This week I am so grateful that my family is all safe.  I grew up in New Jersey and every summer we went to the Jersey shore.  My sister and her children and their families all live at the shore very close to the beach.  They are all safe and their homes are ok.  Trees are down around them and they are without electricity but compared to what they could be experiencing they are very, very lucky and they too are very grateful for all that they have and for the people who are there to help.  My nephew, who is a policemen in some very rough neighborhoods has been doing his job evacuating people who are still stranded.  We are all very proud of him and the work that he and his fellow officers do each and every day. 
It is interesting to hear from my sister all of the creative ways people are helping each other.  Even in times of need, or maybe especially in times of need, the person who sees through a creative lense is able to solve problems that others see as unsolveable.  To all the creative problem solvers of the world I want to say, "Thank you!"

Yes, I am grateful too, that my East coast family members are all safe, without damage to their homes. What a wonderful picture, Ginny! Almost abstract, it has such a dreamy look. Beautifully done!

Your painting has a lovely, soft gentleness to it. It is truly amazing that so many escaped the fury of Sandy, and now we witness the true goodness of people as the emerge from the disaster. Happy PPF

Hi Ginny, I grew up in NJ too, all of my family still live there. They have no power but are all safe and I'm so grateful for that too. I love the softness of this painting, so lovely. xo

What a poignant post, my eyes are welling with tears!! So happy your family is safe!! It makes us all stop and think when fellow bloggers are affected by such devastation. People in general are truly good. There is so much love in the world, we basically all want the same thing! Love and Security! Thank goodness for your nephew and all the die hard rescue workers and regular folks who hold our their hands in kindness! After all it's the right thing to do!! Beautiful serene painting...really suits this post!

Hugs Giggles
