Gratitude is a subject that is seldom talked about in todays fast paced society. The clear cut attitude to be grateful for all of life not what just feels safe and comfortable. There is such blessing in the land that we live in. Abundance is really an understatement. There is so much Divine Presence if we take the time, look and listen to what is in the here and now. The life we live, the oxygen we breath, the water that is clear to drink, the land that sustains the crops, the sun, the moon, and even the stars, all created for us to sustain our gratefulness. when I look at the abundance that is here in our land, I think of others that do not have so much and are still grateful for what they do have without any need for more, without any gratefulness for what they do not have. There is a true love for anything that comes wether it be of their own volition or someone elses.
There is such a small window that we live on the earth and a small window to be truly, deeply, mind fully, grateful and thankful for all we have minute by minute and share our gratefulness with all we come in contact with and spread the joy.

I really feel at peace with my accomplishments and really never thought I would have gotten as far as I have. My children are my biggest and best, I am truly blessed by them and their ability to live their lives in such a caring and accomplished way by themselves. They have good hearts and love to be of service to others.
I feel most accomplished when something happens whether I was involved directly or indirectly. The moment when I hear something changed or was made better makes me feel very peaceful. I especially feel at peace when something I put forth affects patients and medical facilities nationwide, as in my work with Patient Safety and Quality nationally. I am a very humble person and perform my duties in the name of God, I am the vehicle…..

My friend mentioned the following on her blog: Per Laurie Buchanon–What if when we were born we were issued one car, a single vehicle that had to last us our entire life? We don’t get to trade it in for a new model or sign a new lease. We must take such good care of the vehicle that it will serve us well as long as we live. This is, in effect, exactly what happens. When we’re born we have one physical body that has to last us our entire life. The condition we keep it in is totally up to us. The famous actor and comedian, George Burns, lived to be 100 years old (1896 – 1996). He is well remembered for saying, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself!”

As such I have a 1962 model….1962 Ford Thunderbird………Needs a tune up and new tires!
