Color me Grateful
I am grateful for this day. Every day, in fact.. . I have found that lately, life is so hectic that my days all seem to run collectively, one into the other. The day ends and as I crawl into bed I try to imagine where all the hours went. I wanted to take some moments before the day was done to reflect. I needed to center my thoughts on the simple things in life that get skipped on my gratitude list. Simple pleasures. Small gestures…. Coffee machines with timers, warm showers on a cold morning. Slippers. The smell of a freshly cleaned car. The man that took my cart back to the store, saving me a trip. A smile from a stranger while waiting in line. A loving gesture. A kiss goodbye. A short note from a friend. Small things. Simple gestures. Little niceties. Life is good. Thank you for being part of my life.

Hiho Wonder Woman :) My teacher wife is so tired that she not even hear me say good night. specially after i gave her a massage and she sleeps :)
Oh!!!! You are a good man!

It is so important to be thankful and grateful. You never miss something till its gone. I know we are all grateful for your awesome posts and lovely comments you give us!
Awww! You always make me smile with these comments! Stop spoiling me!
It's true. Missing something when it's gone stings the worse. No way of recouping that one. The only thing I can hope for is that the lesson wasn't lost on me and it won't happen again.
And yet, it does. Have a great night, Paul. You are one of those little things in life to be grateful for. tip!
Now be honest, how much wine? I mean you are being way too nice and kind and sweet. Seriously this place wouldnt be half as fun without you. Just sayin.
Look,
Old ManPaul. I haven't had a drop. Do not drive me to drink. Oh! I guess I could always callthea taxi!:)

Have a good night, Sunshine. Hope your morning is brilliant.

Such a touching post and a beautiful image, Denise!
Thank you so much, Diane. What a lovely thing for you to say. I needed some pretty color after a rainy day. :) Have a wonderful night!
You too! Talk to you sometime later in the day tomorrow. Going out of town to pick up my son at the airport.
Drive safe! Have fun with your son!
We're back. it was 3 hours each way. He's actually been living with us for the last year, and I was picking him up after a 4 week trip to Moscow!
I remember now that you say that the he went away for 4 weeks to Moscow. How exciting. I will bet he is going to have some great pictures and stories to tell about that. Enjoy. I want to hear all about it
The funniest one was on his return at immigration at JFK. They caused him to miss his flight last night!
Time is indeed running 🏃 fast. I think reflecting each day what we are thankful for is key 🔑
You are so right, Dan. If we take a moment, enjoying and savoring each day, I think we will walk away each day with a grateful heart.
Wonderful grateful thought, and a lovely photo!
Thank you so much, Melinda. As this season of Christmas sneaks up on us, you often come to mind and I hope that there will be a massaging of your soul and that you may find some joy in the family time. xoxo
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts! The kids and grandkids are such a joy, and I am trying to prepare myself ahead of time for the huge hole there will be in all of the holidays this year...starting with making it through Thursday. I will have a houseful, and that will make me happy!! Hugs for you.
XOXOX I wish you well for turkey day!!
So beautiful.... your gratitude and appreciation of the small things, your eye for beauty, your humble heart. Much love. <3
Oh, my. I love you truly. xoxo

You have noticed all little happening in your around and feel happy. Who thinks as it is, in my own point of view is a real happy man.
I am truly a happy woman! Yes!
God keep happy you always.
Thank you!
I love this! What a wonderful reminder to REMEMBER the little things. It's those things that primarily make up our days/lives. 😍
Having gratitude is one of the easiest ways to lift ourselves up, yet, it seems it can be the hardest to remember.
Luckily, for the most part, I'm pretty good at it... Or at least I have a bit of the "oooh shiny!" syndrome, forgetting about the bad cause that flower is so lovely. 😏
I'm pretty grateful to have just met you. 😘
P.S. That picture is gorgeous! I love me some pink!
I love me some pink too!
Oh, the attitude of gratitude. Yes. Indeed. It makes my day just thinking about it. I am extremely grateful to have met you and you are one of the bright and shiny's over at discord. Thank you for that.
It's always about the little things.
Thank you always.
Well, dang it! Double AW!
I'm glad I found you too! I used to be in Steemit.chat a lot, but sometimes folks there are ... less than nice. 😏
The banter is playful and not mean... and if it IS mean, it's just cause one of 'em got out of line. LOL!
"See" ya later!
