Another day in which I wasn't ungrateful yet apparently I wasn't grateful either. My day passed without complaint from me but also without an awareness to what was potentially happening around me that was Gratitude Attitude disguised. I'm sitting here tonight reviewing my day and wondering, "Where's the Gratitude Attitude?" I'm also wondering, "Is today the day I pull out a really lame one just to say I was grateful for something today?"
Since I'm stalling I might as well ask you. How you doin'?
No really, how are you doing on your Gratitude Attitude? I meant it when I said I would love to hear from *you* about what you are finding yourself grateful for these days.
Okay, enough stalling.
Today I'm grateful for the freckles that are sprinkled across the noses and elbows of my redheads. I love their freckles. And I love the story behind their freckles. When they both were born they had zero freckles, very unusual for redheads. Until they were 3 1/2 and 5 1/2 they had no freckles still. And then we went to Disney World and they came home with the lightest freckles across their noses. I called them permanent souvenirs of Disney World! Around the time the oldest hit 4th grade I noticed freckles dotting her elbows. They were divine. I "ate" them up. Since then each year the girls seem to get more and more. They are most prevalent on their faces and elbows and I adore them. The ones on their elbows still get me every time. (It must be a Mama thing. *grin*) The youngest spent a good two weeks as a fish this summer and when she walked back in our door after being out of my sight and grasp for about 3 weeks I couldn't believe the number of freckles that popped to the surface of her face! So many new ones to kiss and admire. :)
