Day 4, 5,6 (round two) - Awesome Blossom (from Sparkles)

February 26th- 28th

The rain decided to take a break and the beautiful sunshine decided to peek through the clouds. I felt such a sense of gratitude over the weekend. Just to be living was a gift...funny how we don't realize that. My gives were small gestures of appreciation: I called a friend to see how she was doing on day 4, on day 5 - I cooked a meal for my husbands favorite dish (even though I wasnt up to it) and yesterday (day 6) I decided to vacuum the inside of my hubbys vehicles for him. For once in a very long time, all the neighbors were out either working on their garden or repairing fences....it was beginning to feel like spring and summer. all the plants were in full BLOSSOM and there was just a sense of LIFE all around. I was so grateful -----I decided to pick tangerines from our tree and take them over to the neighbors across the street who just moved here from Washington. You know, a welcome to the neighborhood gesture - California style!!!!

All in all, my gives were more thoughtful in nature and thats all it takes to move the spirit in the right direction. For those of you who leave wonderfu messages daily, bless you because it's the one place we can all go to feel uplifted if everything else doesn't feel so good.

Lots of love and blessings...
