My 10 Gratitudes, Joys, and Likes for September 6: Some things that give me joy: 1. The beauty of nature and how astonishingly beautiful it can even in the midst of the most turbulent display/storm. 2. The fact that nature can bless us with the most amazing gifts---waterfalls, flocks of geese flying overhead, a long stretch of beautiful sand dunes, mountains covered with aspen and pine trees, rivers, and rainbows. 3. Literally being stopped in our tracks tonight by one of the most stunning rainbows I have seen in many years. It was full, complete, and the colors were so vivid. Then there appeared a faint second rainbow. We pulled our car over to get pictures, as did many others. 4. Feeling so uplifted and joyful after seeing that wonderful sight. We were late getting out of town and if we had gone home our normal time, we would have missed it. It was a gift! 5. It is moments like those that remind us that we live in a wonderful world filled with wondrous things that bring us joy. We over-focus on the negative things and forget to open our hearts to joy. from Denver back home to the small town I had been sent to by the Bishop of the Methodist church. I felt overwhelmed and sad. Suddenly a rainbow appeared in front of and arched over the road I was on. As I drove under it, I felt like everything was going to be okay. 7. There are certain things in this world that bring me joy, and rainbows are one of them. Another is the full moon rising in the sky. Another is walking up to the edge of the Grand Canyon and realizing that one river created that masterpiece. 8. Watching my cats stretch after a nap or in the morning, especially if they find that one patch of sunlight. It is so simple, but such a joy to watch. 9. Music---any music that soars and swells and takes my spirit with it. It can be classical, popular, sound track from a movie or TV show, but it must transpose me to somewhere else. 10. Finally finishing these Gratitudes. I have been sleepy tonight and have fought sleep and slept on and off all the way through them. It gave me a feeling of joyful accomplishment to have gotten through them.
