Life is full of ups and downs. But I have found that when I recognize and concentrate on those very special positive moments and events, they seem to take over and the downs don't seem nearly as important. For several months on Friday, I have written about just a few of the special moments that occured during the week and that I am grateful for experiencing. This practice has quickly become a habit that I don't intend to break. This week just a few of the special moments that I am grateful for are:
A telephone call with my grandson who was so proud that he was now going to kindergarten in the "big school". As a former kindergarten teacher I was not surprised that his favorite thing was time on the playground.
Cool summer mornings on the backporch where I read a great mystery.
Tea with a friend who shared all the wonderful things that she learned at a writer's conference.
Painting a thank you note. It was fast, fun, and if I do say so myself turned out pretty good.
Beautiful and delicious tomatoes from a friend's garden.
Sharing an empty beach at the lake with my husband on a breezy morning. He ran his boat while I read.
Hearing from friends on facebook or comments on my blog letting me know what special moments they experienced.

I would love to know what special moments you experienced and are grateful for this week. It would be so much fun to see this movement grow and grow. It is exciting to see the world through positive eyes and to share that view with others.
