i am so glad that i took the time to focus this month on daily gratitudes.  i want to be present in my daily life and this exercise helped me live each day with intention.  it is a really nice place to be heading into the holidays

today was a day i wouldn’t like to repeat but even so there were some high notes…

we will be having sour cherry cobbler and a tripple berry grunt

hope all of you have a happy thanksgiving – may your turkey be moist and pies be sweet

another all around good day – which means a long list of things to be thankful for.

• coffee & crafts with sharon – it had been way to long so nice to catch up
• wonderful lunch with Karen B. – miss working with her everyday
• got some work done
• dinner with friends
• grocery shopping with no lines and a chat with Janet all at the same time

today was a wonderful day – awesome conversation with Deborah about our project, made my first batch of divinity and it came out nearly perfect, then had a killer work out at pilates and boxed up a few treats for friends!! lots to be grateful for

saturday was one of those lazy but fun days – had breakfast with karen, a trip to michael’s, made a test batch of chocolate caramels and watched silly movies – so many good things

today was equally wonderful – relaxed in bed for the morning reading my new candy book and so on, lunch with aaron, made a batch of fondant so i can recreate the family divinity recipe this week and got new wipers for the car – a totally awesome day

can’t wait to see what this week brings

it was a funny day but i was truly grateful for so much. i got a chance to work through something with a friend, i had a night out at a new restaurant and i had an awesome night’s sleep which is why this is getting posted this morning!

today was a hard day and even so there was much to be thankful for – i managed to find all the ingredients i needed to make divinity, had a nice dinner with aaron and connected with karen

it was a good reminder even when you are having a hard time with something you can still find a little thing to be grateful for
