Kind and Generous - Natalie Merchant




It is the first day of a long winter break ... Thank you!

I was up before dawn and I got to welcome the break of day driving through my country backroads when this song came on my car music box....Thank you!

My big chore in life today is to meander around my house and bake cookies....16 doz cookies and listen to Christmas music while I have a beverage or two...and keep the fire going in the fireplace.... it is a peaceful way I have learned to relate to Christmas ....Thank you!

My house is clean and cozy and it is my peaceful haven.  I have known more peace in this house in 4 years than I have ever known in my life.... Thank you....Thank you! (This one deserves a second Thank you)

I have my health and my life has reminded me lately to understand the dept of that sentence.  I have been more committed to my health this year.  I feel motivated to continue this in to the next year of my life....Thank you!

My kids are grown and making their way in life.  They have loving relationships in their lives.  They still call me just to talk and they are boys...It is not true that boys leave you when they meet their girl. I love them beyond belief for maintaing a close and loving course with me....  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!  (THANK YOU X's three needed here)

I found this quote, " A boy makes a girl jealous of other women, a Man makes other women jealous of his girl."  I finally got the latter ... One of my girlfriends always says..."OK, what is the best thing he has done lately.  The best part is I have to stop and think "which thing was best?"...I have more than one to pick from.... Thank you Thank you!

I have friends who are good in a crisis, Fun on short notice, and loyal through it all.  THANK YOU! (A BIG Thank you required here)

I have a sister who is my compass, my friend, my mother, my connection to the past and a joy in the present.... Thank you!! (She is in need of a double !)

I live with my little dog, who is dumber than a bag of rocks.  He is a short bus super hero.  He is Honey Bastard, Shitty Bill, Max, Kraizy....he is so many little dogs all in one so he has a list of names.  He cracks me up and is my companion...Thank you!

I know I have the ability for my own personal greatness.  I am growing more comfortable in my own skin.  I have clarity, peace and purpose in my life.  I also have a vision for when life decides it is time to shift.  All I can really say these days is ....Thank you Thank you Thankyou,  Thank you Thank you!
