Older and wiser~

~Getting older...and hopefully, wiser.~
Today I am grateful for:
~*~
* My great husband, son and daughter-in-law, and world's most precious grand-children, my totally fab sister, niece and soon-to-be new 'nephew'... And all of my other terrific family members.

* My special friends here and all of you in this blog arena that daily bring inspiration and joy.

* My two pups-Lucca and Pickle.

* My home.

* Good health.

* The special memories of my late parents.

* My travels.

* Being able to get up each morning and do what I truly love to do.

Each day we awake with hopes and wonder of what our day will bring. What are some of the things that you are grateful for?
*Wonderful update~ My son, daughter-in-law and darling grandchildren surprised me and came to spend the weekend. What can be any better than this?

    I am grateful for many things: my health, husband, Mother, siblings, friends and for the sweet memories of my Father, Grandmother and Leo.
    I am also grateful for my blog friends.

    Happy Birthday Debra. What a terrific surprise to received today; that of your family arriving! I think as I get older, I appreciate things that you cannot buy. After my mom became ill with cancer this year, I am thankful more than ever for good health and the happiness & health of my children & husband.
    I wish you 365 days of happiness.

    Awwww~ Thank you all for the warm and thoughtful Birthday wishes. We are very busy here with Erin, who turns four in just two weeks and Jack who will be 8 months in a few days. We are playing games, walking and getting very wet at the lake and planning a dinner out tonight. Spending time with your family is the best gift of all- along with your dear comments.

    I am adding my comment to this particular post because it is the essence of why I love you. You are one of the most generous and kind bloggers I have met. You have nothing but positing things to share, and your beautiful illustrations inspire me to follow my dreams and share the beauty that I find. You are an incredible artist and I feel blessed to have met you. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your visits Debra~
