To live a well balanced, rewarding life of our dreams by day and sleep restfully at night.
Seven reasons why I feel grateful this morning. What are you grateful for today?
Published May 30, 2012 | 
Focusing on what we are grateful for is a great daily habit to practice. It is of course easy to do when we are in a good mood and things are going well. It is more of a challenge if we are upset or feeling grumpy. I think those are the times we need to tap into a spirit of gratitude and be reminded of all the good in our lives.
What are you feeling grateful for today?
1. A beautiful North Florida morning. The storm has passed. There seems to be sun and a gentle breeze out there now.
2. A good night sleep.
3. The love I share with my husband.
4. My son’s high school graduation last night.
5. My daughter’s restored health after a rough week-long bout with the flu
6. Our beautiful home.
7. All of the new friends who are discovering The Warm Milk Journal. Thanks for joining my list and visiting!
It’s your turn now.
Have a blessed day!
Debra

Good morning ! A waking up verse
Published July 30, 2011 | 
Sitting up straight and tall
gathering energy from a recently sleeping body;
I thank God and life for giving me another day.
A new day is always a new beginning
Each time I focus I create something new.
Do I set a particular agenda for myself or
Do I just see where this day takes me?
I think I will just sit a moment and listen…
Have a blessed day, all
Debra

In the wonder of it all there is no time to be:
bored,
angry,
resentful,
or at loose ends.
For each day is what is given to us. We are here now and that is all we really have: NOW
So I suggest that NOW is the time to be:
thankful,
joyful,
playful,
and happy.
In Peace,
Debra

Published May 18, 2011 | 
To be thankful for things that are easy to take for granted until you don’t have them…
Have you ever had a toothache, a bladder infection, been hung over, etc. and wish you felt better?
Have you ever had an unexpected or regular bills piling up amounting to more than what you have in your bank account?
Here’s a novel idea: how about feeling gratitude when we have our health, we are pain free, we are well rested, and we have enough money in the bank?
Let’s be thankful for what we do have NOW.
In your journal write a list of things to be thankful about now.
I am thankful for:
1. Being alive
2. My daughter being happy
3. Having enough money to send my daughter to a nice Girl Scout summer camp this July
4. My kind and loving husband
5. My students who are still learning despite it being very close to the end of our school year…
6. I don’t have a headache
7. I am centered and anxiety/worry-free at the moment…
Your turn, Dear Warm Milk Reader. What do you have going on to be thankful for? It sometimes can be the littlest of things.
Goodnight,
Debra
