Querida Isadora,
I enjoyed reading your list as much as I enjoyed writing my own. It’s fun to read the different, yet similar lists. If only the world leaders would focus on such thing…what a different place it might be. Well done, amiga.

Thank you, PJ. The 15 minutes on the timer was a little unnerving for me. I don’t do well under pressure. But I managed and although I forgot someone named King Pelu (my cat). He has been looking at me strangely today. : ) I think I covered a great many I’m blessed to be grateful for.

The Gratitude challenge is open until January 15th if you’d like to give it a go. I found the timer (timer has to be set for 15 minutes) unnerving. I don’t work well under pressure but I managed to get a good amount down. I forgot, beach walks, sunsets, ice cream and my cat King Pelu and a few more. He’s been looking at me strangely today. I think he knows. LOL

It’s actually difficult to do the list because you have to set a timer ⏱ to 15 minutes. I don’t do well under pressure. Hated taking exams. Sooo … that’s my excuse. 😃 I forgot my cat King Pelu. He’s been looking at me a bit weird today. I think he knows.

I love spreading positive energy through the blogosphere.There’s way too much negativity that at times one feels overwhelmed from it. I do my best everyday to think about the many special people and things I have in my life. I’m blessed and never take that for granted. When I start to feel negative I pop on my meditative music or dance or read uplifting material. We can all get down from time to time or feel like life is beating us up. It’s the getting up and moving forward, past it, that will fill our lives with joy and love again.
My hubby and I have been married 53 years this past August. A feat that takes a lot of determination. Love isn’t the only way to keep a marriage going. It’s the caring and helping of the other person through their up’s and down’s and, sometimes, sitting in silence acknowledging that they just need to sit and be.
Thank you for hosting this well-needed Gratitude celebration.
Isadora 😎😍
