This Morning I am grateful for:
Sunday morning with time to drink coffee and read the paper before everyone else gets up.
Amy and her kids. They are just great kids. She's OK too? :-)
The Ceili at Sam's new school. I had no idea what it was going to be. The food and the band were really good.
Taylor for driving from Lansing to go with us.
Getting really excited about my upcoming training and what I will learn there. Following the intuition I had when I saw the notice that there would be answers there for me, personally and professionally.
The possibility that Lisa and Jason might buy a house
The possibility that Scott and I might buy a condo in WA
My niece moving to Chicago which will allow me to see her so much more often
Starting a new healthy eating and exercise program tomorrow morning that will help me feel healthier and drop a few pounds. Faith in myself to stay on the plan.
The knowing that I have a wonderful life filled with peace of mind, abundance and true friendships.

Celebration
This morning I am grateful for:
Another chance to laugh at (with) Amy
Plans for a WONDERFUL, CHAOS FREE evening with Amy's brood on Saturday as they join us for the irish Ceili at Sam's new school.
Choosing to skip school today so we can stay inside and enjoy the beauty of the spring snow rather than fight it on the roadway.
The deep inner joy I have at knowing that in one week I will be in 80 degree weather in L.A. for 10 whole days.
The work of Byron Katie. Using what I will learn at her training to continue my own growth as well as assist others in doing the same.
The Soroptimist "Celebration of Women" dinner last night where women are honored for the valuable work they do on a daily basis. I sat next to a couple who travels to Nicaragua to aid orphans and have raised enough money to break ground on a school and therapeutic orphanage there. So far they have assisted in 45 orphans being cleared for adoption in the US.
Finding out that my niece is moving to Chicago from Seattle. I am going to invite her to Women's Camp.
My life being full of opportunity and wonderful, loving people who work to be the best that they can be, to make a difference for others and to have joy throughout the journey.
I am blessed and you are such a huge part of my life.
Friends, Friends, Friends
You, you, you.

Just Keep Swimming (with the current)
This morning I am grateful for:
Coming together to honor Jim in a way I'm sure he would approved of
The amazing "parade" to the cemetary that was Jim's wish and the joy of all who participated
Numerous re-connections with TLC people who haven't been around for a while
Being told that even though they haven't attended courses, TLC is apart of who they are
People living their dreams and having "hot shit moments"
The team that worked their butts off to pull off the luncheon for Jim. Barb K, Sally, Mary Ellen, Jim K, Milt. I helped and so did many others but these people went above and beyond.
Amy's loving send off of the Secret Lady who has done a diligent job for many years but has become challenged by the universal movement towards healing.
Leo's healing
Health
Laughter
Purple balloons
Deep, honest, heartfelt friendships
Spiritual connections and guidance from those who have passed
Mouth open, head thrown back, right out loud laughter (not at Amy) (OK maybe sometimes at Amy)
You my dear friend, you

It Mattered To This One
It has been a while since I wrote a gratitude list. I have talked about it and not followed through. Recent events have reminded me that every single moment is a gift and taking time to connect with all of you, even for a moment each day, is so important. I deeply love and appreciate this human experience, this life, and all of you.
This morning I am deeply grateful for the life and love of Jim Hosler. His quiet, loving way of being in this world has changed the course of life for literally thousands of people. My entire experience is what it is because Jim decided to make a difference.
He never needed to be in the lime light or the center of attention. For all the years I have known him he was the dependable, strong guy in the back of the room. He offered music, hugs and playful smiles.
He kept the song sheets for every course since the begining and could tell any student what celebration song had been played for them no matter how long ago it was.
He made it possible for the Center for Life Enhancement to remain open since 1992. He carried the financial burden when the center didn't support itself.
He never lost his sense of humor even when his body gave out on him. I visited him at the rehabilitation center right before Christmas and we watched old Saturday Night Live episodes together.
Goodbye to Jim's body is not goodbye to Jim's energy or his spirit. He will be there in the back of the room for every TLC course. He will be on the golf course and on a snowy mountain top in Switzerland.
He will be in our hearts.
I love each and every one of you with all of my heart and soul.
