Me too!

The sounds of spring sure do lift the spirit, don’t they Amy? Oh i miss them too and am ready to enjoy them soon I hope

You made me smile with your comment, Melissa. We do need that real human contact at least part of the time

Thank you for stopping by, DeeDee

Thankful for clutter is amazing. I know I would have to work on that one but again the blessings of little giggles and hugs certainly make up the difference. Thanks for sharing that

What a neat story, Julie. Hearing is a powerful tool if we just use it, isn’t it?

I am smiling because many comments have been about barking dogs – you are one of the first to find the good in that so I appreciate that addition to this conversation. Thanks Mary

That video is very powerful. Yes you have lots to be thankful for it sounds. Blessings on you!

Sounds of spring – yes a great sound to be thankful for. May we have many more days of that ahead. Thanks, Dawn

Yoga really does help one center and find silence. That is a great method. I worked for a while in a cubicle too so know how hard that is to concentrate. I never did go a good job there as I did in a private office. Blessing on the rest of your week.

I bet with three kids you can’t find much silence. Cherish the craziness – that is great advice you wrote. I will remember that the next few days as we entertain a houseful of company and I am yearning for some quiet time. Thanks

Thanks Stephanie for your kind words. I hope you do come back and visit.

You are the second one who mentioned barking dogs. mmm, that could get annoying but I would think also a moment of gratefulness that they are good companions. My daughter just lost her 18 year old cat – and misses her even though she had messes. Hard to be thankful for the messes but loved her company. Blessing on your week, Melissa.

Thank you for your kinds words. Glad my post helped. I know that often happens to me too as I read other blogs. Such a gift we give each other. Thanks for stopping by.

I agree all of the gadgets are a barriers to good human to human listening. I think we are losing that too. And not too sure how grateful I could be about the barking dogs next door. I appreciate that would be a struggle. Thanks though for stopping by this week and commenting

I am so sorry for your recent loss but sure sounds like you have been finding blessings around you. That will bring you some comfort and give you lots of hope I am sure. Blessings!

Grateful for family and hope and imagination are great things to not take for granted. I like that you included imagination, something many of us forget about and its importance. Writing down our blessings also helps. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment

I am glad my words encouraged you in a difficult time. It is difficult to find those blessings in the midst of tragedy but if we keep our hearts and eyes open, we will see them. Blessing on your journey.
