Days, months, weeks, and sometimes even years - they all go by us. If we're lucky, we tame them long enough to feel like we were not just standing there as they went by; sometimes we actually feel present in them. But not enough. Too many amazing and wonderful things go by without so much as a nod or moment of appreciation. Because life happens. Because we get busy. Because we just keep going. This blog is a way to stop all of that spinning and pause some of those quiet, simple little moments that make us smile. Being grateful is not something that we just are - being grateful is something we should actively do. This is two friends living many, many miles apart, sharing their tiny little moments of gratitude in pictures with each other and with the world.

Grateful #3 - A broken string

 
I had foot surgery 3 years ago and I was unable to put my foot on the ground at all for 8 weeks. You have no idea how frustrating it is not to be able to do every day things like walking, going up and down stairs, taking a shower - without the help of a friend, crutches, or a knee-wheeler device.  Equally as frustrating, is not being able to be active - to run, to play sports, to play tennis.   I broke a string today while I was playing tennis and instead of being annoyed, I was grateful.  I am healthy, in shape, and I can go out onto the tennis court hit a ball so hard that I break a string.
