Truly Friggin' Grateful!

When I'm having a less than stellar day, sometimes I can become cranky, perhaps a little whiny, and maybe even a little "ungrateful". I don't much like those days because it makes me feel a little ashamed of myself, disappointed and then some. Jan. 2015 I began a grateful jar. Even in my worst slump I can and should remain with a grateful heart when I see the number of entries I have in my jar only barely into the new year.

Yes, that grateful jar quickly reminds me just how much I have to be grateful for. When I feel cranky, needy, materialistic, I look to the jar and want to smack myself knowing just how good life really is most of the time!!! :) I refrain from the smacking but honestly have to shake my head at myself.

That Spring Thing!

First morning of daylight savings and  I open my bleary eyes to gaze upon what I see through my bedroom window is a beautiful day!   There among the tall, strong trees that have remained through years of every kind of weather, tiny birds flit about.    My initial thought is that it looks to be butterflies as they dart back and forth in hurried and very tight close circles.   I realize quickly they are not butterflies; of course,  but two little nuthatches I believe.     They are darting about in such a fashion all I can think is that they must be 'twitterpated".
Spring is most certainly in the air.
