Oh Happy Days
When I look at the title of this post it makes me smile. I’m grateful for everything. The pleasant and the ‘not so pleasant’ because it all serves to teach me something.
We spent some time earlier this week with Marcel’s aunt- She recently turned 80, and we were unable to make it to her party, so we decided to go spend some time with her this week. Our intent was to stay only a few hours- but it was so great, and we were having so much fun that the time flew and when I looked at my watch- four hours had passed! Needless to say- we definitely plan to go again. She’s such a joy and I adore spending time with her. I also enjoyed hearing some of her stories, plus her sharing some of her wisdom with us- at 80 one has compiled a lot of wisdom, you know?
Work has been great- my column is going great- I continue to learn and challenge myself outside of the box- and by doing so- I continue to grow- that makes me happy.
With the challenges of this year- it took a while for me to find my balance- but once I did- I haven’t looked back- I count my blessings every-single-day. Are all days perfect? Not even close- but what I do know, is that I’m blessed, WE are blessed and I don’t take one single moment of that for granted.
Helping a Friend
Our Neighbors who have a son who is a musician stopped Marcel on the street the other day asking him if he could help find some particular music related gifts that he is looking for to order for his son for Christmas. Marcel and I are much more tech savvy than this guy, so we offered to browse around and see what we could find.
The guy really encourages his son to stay with the music and doing what he loves- and has really been supportive of getting him various lessons, and now some new equipment. We’ve sent him the link to musciansfriend and he’ll take it from there. I hear he’s going to be doing a concert this Christmas season for their annual holiday party. I can’t wait to hear more details. I love seeing people following their passions.
