Rosie

• We introduced ourselves and she smiled.  As she walked into the Montessori classroom to begin her 3 day internship as a middle school student I admired her courage and self confidence.  Throughout the day she stopped in the office to say, "Thank you for having me and Thank you for letting me be here."  The number of times she said Thank YOU were countless. 

• Rosie's sweet nature and kindness became contagious.

• The day was off to a great start, for sure and I was feeling more and more Grateful with each passing minute. 

• In the afternoon I visited my Dad in the hospital downtown and he seemed to be doing exceptionally well after a 6.5 hour surgery.  A nurse walked in and then out, my Dad said, "Thank you."   Another nurse, in then out, He said, "Thank You."  And another nurse walked in and he said, "ROSIE, you have to meet my daughter."  We introduced our selves and smiled.  My Dad said, "This is Rosie, The BEST nurse in the whole Hospital, Thank you Rosie!!!!!!"  She smiled and said many Thank You's, administered medicine and continued with the Thank You delivery directed to my Dad.   

• Rosie's sweet nature and kindness became contagious. 

• I smiled and felt gratitude for both Rosie's and their wondrous love and kindness and ability to be in such BIG gratitude, (Thank you Mood)!!!!!!

Thank you...................

Again, a day of more miracles than I can recount in one breath.  Today, I awoke with such a bundle of gratitude in myself that I felt heavy.  I began unloading the thank you's right away.  First to Sidd and Five for being here with me, always, then I noticed my self walking, so, I thanked my legs for working, and feet for moving and having balance, I thanked my hands for the ability to scoop the coffee and I silently thanked all the coffee bean working people for helping make it so that I can have coffee, and I thanked the people who made the coffee grinder, and the people who transported it, and the person who donated it to Snowline so I could then but it, I thanked the electricity for giving me hot water, and I thanked the sky for the water, I thanked the people who built the roof I live under, I thanked the coffee cup and people who made it and again the people who donated it so I could then purchase it from Snowline, I thanked all the neighbors for loving me and the family of creatures so much..... and on and on, the day went like this and I realized, just now that I still have a ton of gratitude in my belly!   So much  gratitude, I wonder if it is the same concept that goes like this....

  GIVE IT AWAY TO KEEP IT.... 

and.... 

  THE MORE WE GIVE THE MORE WE  HAVE...  
(The ripple effect)

THANK YOU,   YOU! for being you and I will definitely awake tomorrow on the right foot and begin again with the gifts of gratitude to all and any, for this or that, for something or nothing, for loud or silence, for beauty or non, for the sake of something to do.... instead of nothing to do.... And for NOW... in this moment.. to you, again... Thank you !!!!!!!
