remember when i was doing that 'grateful daily' thing? (it was inspired by this yummy goddess)
well… as you are aware- i am not so good with following through with projects.. that's not the point though.
the act of taking the time each day, or every other day- to remember what i am grateful for really brings everything into perspective.
suddenly shitty little things don't matter any more. your entire day can be shifted from bad to wonderful…
my sweet friend, deb is the queen of bringing it back to the earth, to the heart and soul… she is light. you won't catch her complaining about anything- without finishing it off with 'but i am so grateful for this.'
she inspires me to remember to do this. she makes me want to be better.
it's not like she's overly cheerful happy happy sunshine… she's real, and genuine. has dealt with things that a lot of people don't have to deal with, and things that many others do-she just chooses to deal with them differently. to see the greater picture- or to remind herself when things start to get hectic and crazy of what she has- and it grounds her, and makes her appreciate everything even more.
and with that- she is light, her soul is intoxicating. she is so yummy.
she honours the light inside you, believes in you, coaches you.
she makes the chaos calm down, and put you back in your place gently. and i love it… and i want to learn from it.
i am learning from it.
i have so much to be thankful for, and i think it is in good practice to find a time, a moment, a thought- each day to bring things back to us. to now. to remember what we are grateful for. to find a blessing in everything.
rather than waiting all year (for those who celebrate thanksgiving) to have an excuse to remember.

although, i'm having a hard time finding the blessing in these pimples that just popped up on my cheek. deb?

pimps help you focus more on being beautiful on the inside…and not focusing or caring so much about outward appearances…
…at least that is what I tell myself.
Ok, now imagine all previous correspondence in CONTEXT, written here on your comments page. There is nothing good about pimples. Except when they are gone, and we are grateful.. P.S I'm coming to Ireland this weekend! But far away from you, I think you are in Galway, no?
We are so lucky to have such good friends in our life.
Last weekend, I invited my buddies at home and we had such a great time. I wish I could live next to them and hug them everyday. But then I realized I wouldn't appreciate the moments we spent together the way I do now… the laughters, the silliness, the talks… all is appreciated differently when you know this is something you have to treasure. 
I should stop adding smileys to my comments, it's ridiculous. hahaha!
