As...Susan, as I read your post, I became thankful. As I browsed through your gratitude, you reminded me of my own specific circumstances and people, and I felt such gratitude welling up in me. Bless your heart, I appreciate your reminder that we have a choice in what perspective we will take during our days.Ramona Heikelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698592720587410097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-16202547410516342412015-11-08T22:33:58.778-07:002015-11-08T22:33:58.778-07:00Sometimes it's good to realize what we can do ...Sometimes it's good to realize what we can do rather than to complain about what we can't do. You are showing a good attitudinal approach. Some months back one of our InScribers wrote a blog on using short time periods for writing. I have experimented with this since then, and I find it to be effective. This has something to do with the length of time our brain can focus on what we are doing. To read more about this method, google "writing for 25 minute sessions" or the Pomodoro Technique.Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-50394323528935637322015-10-31T20:47:20.642-07:002015-10-31T20:47:20.642-07:00It is so true that gratitude affects your attitude...It is so true that gratitude affects your attitude.

I felt like we were sitting across from each other having coffee (or your beverage of choice) and debriefing with each other! Your blog reminded me of the power of our presence, so to speak, as we communicate and listen with our hearts.
