Project: Gratitude and Joy...every day







Friday, February 12, 2010


First day of "Project Joy".

As I get older it seems the days pass more quickly and I have less to show for my life. I do believe that if I adjust my perspective then I can find a glimpse of JOY every day...regardless of my circumstances....regardless of my productivity or lack of productivity.



I'm beginning this blog thing at 1:16 am (looking at the clock in the corner of my monitor view) realizing that almost all of my (better) ideas come in the wee hours of the morning when I have nobody to talk me out of them.

I also have my my bird named Daffy on my shoulder as I type.

Having Daffy here as I begin is a great help since he thinks everything I do is amazing. He also gives me kisses and says: "Good bird!" while I write, which, is encouraging...even if he is only a bird. I've posted Daffy's picture here as my Photo of the day

What am I grateful for at this moment?: I am grateful that this old computer has come back to life after a brief unplanned time of dysfunction. I am grateful that I could send the costly replacement computer back to the manufacturer for a full refund (without a restock fee!!).

Now I will cuddle with Daffy while I watch the rest of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and then I will go to bed in my own comfy bed. I really am blessed.

So concludes my first blog post (Whew-hoo!),
