Its a good day to reflect, In Gratitude. I look back at all the many friends, neighbors, relatives that have – at a crucial point in time, made a difference. Most, are unaware of how much impact they had upon the course of my life.
Jan Vincent, a treasured friend, painted this miniature for me. Using 24 k gold leaf and French Ultramarine, the orange clivia flowers sing with joy. To me.
Jan’s website is janvincent.net
Its a good day to reflect In Gratitude.
Too often, we whinge. We see the awful, the negative, we see “what’s Wrong.”
But, Its a good day to reflect. In Gratitude.
Life isn’t ‘perfect’ ! We all have a story. And within the story, contains hundreds of people whom we now can clearly see all the good, all the hope, the Light, the assistance they gave us.
Its a good day. I’m Grateful.
Thank You, dear readers and friends
December 2015 saw a record of 1000 likes that month.
2015 saw 39,000 views to my website. I reached year end goal of 500 total followers by 1. Month by month, I figured out more WP things to do – and surprised myself.
Thank you for your encouragements, comments, friendships – and for returning!
In Gratitude,
Debi
A very happy new year to you, Debi!

your words made me a bit pensive and they were beautiful and right. The most important in life is to have good friends or a nice family. I hope you have both, dear Debi. All the best for 2016, kind regards to Down Under, Mitza
