Thursday's Grace Notes

Thursday's Grace Notes
The power of being nice,  surrounding myself with good things,  experiencing plasma pherisis, massive internal bleeds, and the people who donated their plasma to save me,  pastel painting deep into the night,  my neighbors putting my garbage cans away,  spinach sauteed in garlic and olive oil,  knowing that each day is my own to play with,  and squirrels being squirrels.
Celebrate the day!

Tuesday's Grace Notes

Singing on the mountaintops and in the valleys below, I may live in a house with moldy floors, duck taped carpets and broken windows but when I watch Extreme Home Makeover" I realize that I live in a palace,  iced coffee w/ chocolate protein powder,  seeing grocery shopping as a world of creative possibilities,  sharing my passion for art with my son Steve,  and my old dog going through his second childhood and being stuck in the terrible twos.  Too funny.
Celebrate the day!

Tuesday's Grace Notes
Robins in January, trying to slow down my speech,  feeding my soul so that I can feed others,  encouraging other artists and marketing my work,  new book "Creating From The Spirit...  Living Each Day As A Creative Act" by Dan Wakefield,  Extreme Home Makeover show,  taking time with God  because He always has time for me,  painting every day no if and or buts,  and de cluttering.

Monday's Grace Notes

Monday's Grace Notes
Waking up to blaring classic rock, feeling like doing the wrong thing but choosing to do right, my morning omelet in a cup,  playing on the piano "Take The A Train" at midnight,  bracelets with paint on them, recreating the life that I had before living in a wheelchair,  my parents having me to keep her company and the birth on my husband to produce two beautiful children so "Happy Happy birthday Michele and Glenn!"
Celebrate the day!

Sunday's Grace Notes

Sunday's Grace Notes
Overcoming my obstacles one day at a time,  having a vision of abundance, believing that one day I will own a wheelchair accessible vehicle,  a jar of tandoori sauce to play with,  making friends in the produce isle,  being fully engaged in life...  most of the time,  my new book "A Woman's Guide To Living Alone... 10 ways to survive grief and be happy" and my new obsession with curry.

Saturday's Grace Notes

Remembering when "American Band Stand" and "Soul Train" used to be on the T.V. every Saturday morning, high tappin' Irish music, writing my thank you note of the day, Friday nights spent in front of the T.V. watching my pre recorded shows and reading to my hearts content, getting into a routine,  taking the time to eat outside,  and counting my blessings each night before I go to sleep.
Celebrate the day!

Friday's Grace Notes

Friday's Grace Notes
Teaching watercolor pencils to my art students using my own technique, a girls night out,  teaching Adele's "Someone Like You" music to my voice and piano students,  a tall glass of iced coffee, a new bunch of books from the library,  my children's happiness,  a weekend to play with the paint, sending flowers to someone special,  "getting over my sweet self"  and  making time for fun
Celebrate the day!
