This puts an entire new spin on the term, ‘craving chicken.’
I’m appropriately humbled. Grateful all over again for the many blessings I’ve been given. And grateful for a new twitter-contact, @AngeliasArt . It was a link on her site that led me to this short, but powerful film, winner of the ‘Most Popular Short Film’ award at the 2006 Berlin Film Festival.

Today’s Day 12. Maybe I will try for 40 days.
Just because.
Sorry it’s been so long again. I’ve been having serious computer problems, grrrr! And keeping busy with my etsy shops. I ‘ve been listing new items like crazy in both shops, and was rewarded this morning with a big ArtTile order. I’m SO grateful! And still always a little amazed :)
In the meantime, I wanted to thank Michele from By Your Side for the suggestion to use LiveWriter. I started using it with my last post and it’s already been a huge improvement. Thanks, Michelle!
More soon, I promise. Hope you’re all enjoying these beautiful, late summer days. We had crazy hot weather Friday and Saturday (104!), coolish Sunday in the 70s, then 80+ Monday, a smidge over 90 on Tuesday…who knows? Gotta enjoy it while it lasts!
A special prayer of safekeeping for all the firefighters battling horrific blazes across the state. And compassion and healing for all those affected. ♥
It’s a beautiful morning, bright and blue and clear, with just a little hazy smoke around the edges and just the slightest scent of smoke in the air. A day full of hope, of promise, with just a hint of the fall soon to come. A day to count blessings, and be grateful.
For a time, I used to keep a sort of journal where each night I would write down the five things I was most grateful for that day. A nice reminder to notice, and appreciate the good. And attract more in the process! So today--
1. I’m grateful for a beautiful day, in a beautiful place, on a beautiful planet.
2. I’m grateful that Trader Joe’s sells good German and Swiss chocolate for a reasonable price, and that I have to go in to town today and right by there anyway...
3. I’m grateful for the new (to me) little toaster oven from my friend Emily, that I can use to make myself dinner, without heating up the big oven & the entire kitchen. While I’m at it, I’m grateful for my wise and wonderful friend Emily and her calm, clear take on life.
4. I’m beyond grateful for my wonderful, loving, supportive-in-spite-of-all-the-stupid-things-I-do mother. I love you, Mommy!
5. I’m grateful to alive, to be healthy, to feel (even when it hurts), to be given the opportunity to do better.
It’s hard to believe that just up the coast the fire has doubled in size again. A special wave of gratitude to all the firefighters and the incredible work they do to keep us all safe.
Have a wonderful weekend! Laugh, love, play, pray. Life is good.
