A year ago at midnight, I greeted 2010 by kissing my little girl and wishing her a Happy New Year. It felt as though she and I were starting the year by ourselves--my parents, to whom the little one is very close, were out of the country, and my ex-husband and I had just recently gotten a divorce. Mom and dad came back, of course, and after having gotten used to Life Sans Daddy, The Little One and I were doing just fine.

Super Grateful Sunday, 1.2.2011
This meme was created with the belief that good things come to us when we are thankful. Reflect on the past 7 days, and every Sunday, list at least 7 things for which you are grateful.
"Gratitude is an attitude that hooks us up to our source of supply. And the more grateful you are, the closer you become to your maker, to the architect of the universe, to the spiritual core of your being. It's a phenomenal lesson." - BOB PROCTOR
- The beauty, the spirit, the energy, and the excitement of the holidays.
- Being brought together with people I don't know very well.
- Being appreciated for who I am and what I do.
- Warming up and being mesmerized by a roaring fire in the fireplace.
- Warm cider.
- Family get-togethers.
- Presents, large and small.
- The preciousness of life.
- New beginnings.
- The pockets of stillness in my everyday.
