When I walked into Island Fitness this morning after a month’s absence, the good guy who owns it asked, “How ya doin’!?”  I said great and then began rattling off all the reasons I hadn’t made it in – house guests, a nasty sinus infection, yada yada until Paul grinned, “Well you’re here now.”  Hmmm,  I was! And I could either join the new day that had begun, or stand there reliving aggravating days gone by.  Like magnet design 714 says, “there are times we have to just shake it off and run on.” So, rather than bemoan our near year in programming purgatory. I’ll just proudly ask, “Do you like the new site as much as we do!?!”

What are you feeling grateful for today? Me, I am appreciating eyes that can take in the rolling turquoise sea outside my windows, sparkling in the morning sun … energy that jiggles my feet as if to remind me, “Better get to the gym.” A belly that agrees as it seems to gurgle, “What was with eating all that brie last night?!?”  I’m grateful for the sweet six-pound Papillon who sits on her pretty little embroidered pillow at my feet, always exceptionally willing to go for a stroll with me.  Most of all, I’m grateful to have the heart I write about in PASSAGES birthday card 93422, “May your heart still stir ~ at all life’s possibilities!”  How about you?
