Pressure

As much as I wish I could be a “blogger”, I just can’t.  I don’t have the time or will to make it a daily habit and/or make it a priority.

And the pressure, uggh, the pressure.  It consumes me.  To post and to post “good”. 

Look, it’s November 11, and I’ve been off for three days and nada.  And I’m “supposed’ to reflect thankful this month.  Ugg, I suck.

I shall reflect.

I am thankful for my employer.  I’ve worked at the same place since 1984.  Can you believe it!  Yikes.  And I thought I’d stay just five years, hello LIFE.  I have had the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of working for an organization that provides for me and my family...salary, benefits and favorable working conditions.  I can’t complain.  And I am thankful.

I am thankful for friends, close and afar, that inspire me to be a better person and look for the positive in life.

I am thankful for FPFG, who humbles me. 

Today, I am grateful.

Day 5

So I lost a few days....darn Comcast and a bad modem.  And, I was too lazy to create a post with my fat fingers on my iPhone.

Today, I am thankful for Comcast and high speed internet.

I am thankful for neighbors who love my kids as much as their own.

I am thankful for girlfriends who get me, who allow me to be vulnerable without judgement.

I am thankful for my family.

Cousin Love

I really can't believe it's November.

At bedtime, Lilia and I say our prayers and give thanks to the Lord.  Every night, "thank you for Papa and Lita and thank you Lord for keeping them healthy," without a doubt, it's on the top of her list.  I try to instill a "thanks for blessings" in our prayers, rather than the "asks".  It's a great reminder that we are truly blessed for what we have, a home, food on the table and loved ones who support us, daily.

November seems to be the social month of thanks, so I thought I'd fire up the old blog and document my thanks here.

I am so thankful for iCloud and instant photostream of my iPhoto pictures to this laptop.  No uploading necessary.

This morning's sunrise and sky.  Amazing.

And cousins that love, deeply love.  (They would kill me if they knew I posted this...but they were so cute at dinner, which was soup, caesar salad and yummy rustic bread.)

This month brings us one step closer to the holiday season (squeal).  Tonight the halloween decor came down, hot chocolate was served and we are watching The Holiday.  

Day 1 was great!
