BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
I invite you to come and join me on this pilgrimage to change the world through thankfulness. Perhaps if enough of us join together we can change the negative climate that exists and is overtaking our planet. Together we can move our fellow citizens of to a better, higher and finer place.
Dom and I went to New York City this past weekend. We went to celebrate his birthday. As I have written about in the past, Dom has a great love for music, particularly the opera. So I bought us tickets to see Aida which was performed at the Metropolitan Opera on Saturday afternoon. New York City has been the stage for some of the happiest and proudest moments of my life and the saddest and most heartbreaking moments of my life. I am thankful that the heartbreak has not broken our spirits.
“When I’m in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I’m in a movie” . Ryan Adams
I hope that by writing these posts that we will move together beyond thankfulness into appreciation. Because appreciation for the moments and things for which we give thanks requires us to be mindful of our lives.
At the end of the post you will find a link up frog and I hope you will join me on this venture and once a week write a post and link up to others and share what you are thankful for this week.
PLEASE ADD YOUR POST AND TOGETHER WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD.

Isn’t that so often the way… places that bring forth good memories and sad . It’s good when we can remain strong.. I look back now at some of what happened in our lives, and yet it seems a lifetime ago, and I can see how far we’ve come. I guess it makes us who we are today though… Diane
