♪♫ Just a quick note to mention I've changed my Play List again. If you normally hit your mute button the second you arrive here.....I totally understand! I can't really read and/or write with music playing, either. I like to listen to it as background music as I do filing, de-cluttering, etc. ♪♫
So, today I'm playing what I call Beautiful Music. You'll hear Vivaldi, Susan Boyle, Beethoven, Michael Buble, and Charlotte Church....just to name a few! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.....but if not, go right ahead and hit that old mute button!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wasn't feeling very grateful a couple of hours ago, yeah....ME! Can you believe that?! Every now and then, the old "woe is me" comes to visit and it takes me awhile to drop-kick it back out into the atmosphere. Ooops, look out! I hope I managed to send it to the middle of nowhere, where it won't hit anyone!
We all have mini incidents & inconveniences that disrupt our lives. And there's those major issues.....illnesses, accidents, family quarrels, financial problems, and loss of loved ones due to divorce or death. So, occassionally I have to remind myself that no matter what I may be going through at the moment, it is so minor compared to what millions of other people have to deal with....maybe on a daily basis.
Therefore, I've changed my attitude and I'm truly experiencing a "Grateful Friday"! I wish one for you, too!

“When we are grateful for the good we already have, we attract more good into our life. On the other hand, when we are ungrateful, we tend to shut ourselves off from the good we might otherwise experience.” - Margaret Stortz
I'm feeling grateful today, too. Of course, it probably doesn't hurt that I have a fun day of lunch and shopping with my daughter planned...
ReplyDelete;)
Glad to see you're back in a good mood. I'm grateful that my hubby is on his way home from a week-long business trip right now!
ReplyDeleteI love your quote!! Glad you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling grateful today, why, because all week I had that run-down-feeling, and I hadn't even been run down by a truck. However, today i have a bit more energy, so the husband took me shopping, not one of my favorite things to do, but I had a few things I needed so it really wasn't so bad.
ReplyDeleteI had to do a big LOL because I always mute the music, when I read a book or anything like a blog post.... I like quiet.... You are allowed to spank me with a wet noodle ten swats, for muting the music... Have a fun week-end.
Love the attitude of gratitude!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteSo very true, Becky!
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful for this day of work, because in a few hours I'm taking off back home! I' truly thankful because you have been blogging and you didn't take a break =0) Have a great weekend Becky!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, all we have to do is think about how fortunate we are compared to so many others to realize how grateful we should be. Glad to hear you had a good day today.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, so much to catch up on, Becky!
ReplyDeleteI love that you have a special day for gratitude. It's so easy to take the blessings in our life for granted, isn't it? And I guess I'd still be rocking along if I hadn't stopped by today. So, thanks!
And happy belated b'day greetings to your young'un!
Now, off to writing we go! (Oh, and P.S. I have an almost identical pile of junk mail! :-)
What a lovely positive idea for a blog post! I'm grateful that the OH and I will have a day off together on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote and so true. But don't forget to call a friend to help with drop-kicking those woes! You've helped me play soccer with mine a few times....
ReplyDeleteBecky, gratitude is so important in our lives. Glad you are allowing it in your heart. I understand though, sometimes the circumstances cloud our vision and we see only darkness.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky, You and I are alot alike. I can tell we would hang out if we were close. Your playlist is amazing and I love the fact you "kicked" your "pity party" into "the atmosphere". Kudos for your post and for you for inspiring others to do the same! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you got your good mood back!
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful that I got to post a new poem today and that I had a pretty productive week overall :)
Nice music. Check out Suzanne Cianni- think they have some on the playlist site.
ReplyDeleteI have "woe is me" days also. I think we all do. The important thing isn't that we have them, it is what we do about them. Looks like you've got it covered. :)
ReplyDeleteGood Morning and I hope today brings you sunshine and smiles. Enjoyed your gratitude post today and hope your son had a wonderful birthday! Hugs, Mollye
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quote!
ReplyDeleteNow, I have to get back to unpacking!!
Hugs, Nancy
