"Life moves pretty fast; if you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it." - John Hughes
Believe it or not, I've been missing the weekly ritual of reviewing my gratitude list and posting updates of my life! I was thrilled to reach my goal of 1000 a few weeks ago, but now ... what? So I've decided like some others, to carry on past 1000. May finding things to be grateful for become my lifestyle!
Since I put up my last 1000 gifts post (almost a month ago) here are some blessings I've recorded:
1003. Dr. Charles Price visited our church on his publicity tour for Living Truth. Another couple joined us and we found seats in the second row. Dr.Price ended up sitting right in front of me. (I felt like reaching out and touching the hem of his garment—just kidding!)
1004. I took courage and set up a Facebook page to help me publicize my soon-to-release novel. The process was smooth. It's here, if you care to visit it. I'll be posting book events on it plus other writing-related stuff.
1005. On the subject of the book, I got the proof copy of Destiny's Hands last week, checked it over closely and found no typos, weird spacings, pages missing etc. Whew! So it's on to the print phase.
1006. I love spring's continuing flower show. My camera wants to own! Here are a few mementoes.
1007. We celebrated a couple of milestones. A sad one was my cousin's funeral. He died suddenly in his sleep one Saturday to Sunday in May. I didn't know him well so his memorial service was like getting to know him. What an incredible man who made a huge impact on many people. Memorials always get me thinking too... What will people remember about me?
1008. A happy milestone was a friend's 60th birthday party. He's taken to running triathlons, reflected in his beautifully decorated birthday cake.
1011. We pass a favourite dogwood every day on our walk. I've been documenting it in all its phases.
1012. The salmonberries are ripe. Here is one, photographed just before I ate it.
1013. And how about this curious bloom on a shrub (also seen on a recent walk)?
1014. Father's Day in Vancouver. Son lives just off Main Street where they were celebrating Car-Free Day. The street was a big party / stroll. We had a delicious Greek food at The Main. Happy Father's Day to the man in my life.
1015. This very handsome flicker posed for me this morning.
