Gratitude

Earlier this week we had one of the most coolest experiences and it was such a great reminder to me…..  

We GOT WATER at the ranch for the livestock.  While I’m sure most of you are thinking oh… ok… yeah you got water… I have water too.  🙄  But once you don’t have water and you have to haul buckets of water or have to hope it rains soon, you realize how very special water can be… We often take for granted what we have or what is plentiful.  

I was overcome with gratitude when I saw the water rush out of that pipe (and as you can see the llamas are too).    And it reminded me… What like water to I take for granted every day.  My health, my job, my friends, my food?  There is so much for us to be grateful for every day!!!

As we close a beautiful father’s day weekend…. I am reminded of all the things, people and gifts I sometimes take for granted.  Even my really cool partner… who happens to be one of the best Dad’s I’ve ever seen.  Happy Father’s Day friends!  I hope everyone had an outstanding father’s day weekend and are filled with gratitude for all the people, experiences and gifts we have been given.



 

 Notes that Resonated

Ordinary people extraordinary grace

You can’t control the thoughts in your mind but you can control the thoughts you dwell on

Are we doing all we need today to be second to none two years from now?

What you say, how you say it, and when you say it matter a lot - Chris smith

If you love only the people who love you, what praise should you get? … [L]ove your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without hoping to get anything back - Luke: 6

You can’t teach what you don’t know and you can’t lead to where you don’t go

Most people live their lives doing less than they can…. Why would you go to you grave living a life that you only lived half way?  Can you do more?  Can you see more?  Can you be more? Hold the vision.

Are you willing to do what is required

You need to do beyond what you have mastered to be able to grow.

What ever happened in your life you allow it, you permit it and you permeate it.

Is your fear of failure greater than your desire to succeed?

Make your life a great experiment

keep your head when all about you when others are losing theirs and blaming it on you / trust yourself when all men doubt you / and give grace when there is none to be given

Health:  Alo Moves App

Yoga has such great health benefits and its good for flexibility and strength.  I started a two week yoga challenge (thanks to Anne Marie) and it reminded me of how great it is for our aging bodies 😊

I love the workouts on this app because there is something for everyone.  I personally love the strength and active yoga because of course I’m type A and there’s nothing boring here :)

Paella!!  Don’t let it intimidate you…. It’s not that hard and it’s such a great dish to have with family and friends.
