The Week Before my Birthday: a bounty of abundance!

Tomorrow, 11/7, I turn 44. I’m not upset by that number at all (although 5-0 might scare me). That’s because I have it good, and my life is filled with blessings. Earlier this week, it was the time of the month – a bit early – and I realized around Monday night that I was being a class-act bitch, thanks to pain & hormones…

…and a lack of gratitude. Because really, women can blame PMS all we want, but we are the ones in control of the bitch gene. And given the super-crap year I had before the last few months, it’s time to step up and acknowledge my blessings:

1. An awesome, 100% supportive husband;
2. Two beautiful, healthy children who are actually sweet and well-behaved;
3. Amelia in a really great school that is great for her;
4. Zoe’s vocabulary suddenly blossoming and sleep coming nightly;
5. A lovely family;
6. Fabulous neighbors and long-time friends;
7. Facebook & Twitter & my blog expanding my contacts, reach and friendships;
8. A job, work, ambition, a novel shaping, a career coming together;
9. The Yankees won the series; and
10. I won a contest – jewerly en route!

I’m gonna go for broke and say that’s the tip of the iceberg.  There are good days ahead for my family and I’m embracing them, giving God all the thanks, even while I’m shifting my spiritual gears again still trying to find my way closer to Him.

Happy Friday folks! Share your abundance with us too. peace out!
