New sub blog
While exploring blogs over the weekend, I happened upon An Attitude of Gratitude. It's a daily list of things for which its author is grateful: mundane things, funny things, little things, big things. It's a portrait of her, of course, which makes it interesting on one level, and it's a way for her to express her awareness of good things in her life. We often overlook and/or take those things for granted, unfortunately. It also is right up my personal alley. When my children were little, I made a point of including two things in our bedtime routine - the names of everyone we wanted especially to remember that day and at least one good thing that had happened that day. So I decided to start my own positive posts blog. I'm calling it 13up because I was born on a 13th and because this is about looking up in all senses of the word. I know I'll enjoy observing and recording things there and I hope you'll enjoy reading them and perhaps adding your own.

Aw, thank you... after my dad died last year, I never thought I would have anything to be grateful about again... but you do eventually... it just takes time...
I'll go look in on you...

Great idea, much too much pessimism abroad in the world these days.
Reminds me of a quote I posted a while back from Meister Eckhart.

"If the only prayer you give in your life is thankyou, it will suffice."

Oh that is a FABULOUS quote. I'm going to add it to the description on 13up, I think.

(I wish I could comment on your blog - it still rejects me with 404 and port 80 errors. Grrr.)

You're the best!

Posting here as my email to you appear to be bouncing today -- we are all fine! About half an hour's distance away from the fire. My brother does live in the immediate fire area but the fire should be out by morning. :) Thanks for your note!!

Best wishes, Laura

You are too kind, really! Our blog meister is rejigging the blog at the moment, I've been a little tardy sending him some money for work done, I've been too busy to bill people. As well I haven't had much time for blogging, it's usually a choice between that and getting to bed at a reasonable hour.
