20 one grateful Day 20-Family and anchors

Daddy
through thick and thin this man has been by my side...when I swallowed a zipper, to the day i'm graduating.....an anchor in my world...one of the three I love.....

Sister
 one of the three anchors I hold dear to me...she has always kept me sane since the day she was born....I will always love you.

Friendship



they say blood is thicker than water but I believe blood of the coven is thicker than blood of the womb...family isn't those born or married into another's family....family is the people you hold dear to you...family is those who stick by your side no matter what and will fight you but agree with you on anything and everything.....


Week 4 reflection

1. No, I personally didn't find it true. I was creative but i don't think it came from my gratefulness.  My creativity came from the fact that I was intrigued and fascinated by the things I could come up with to be "grateful" for.

2. The most difficult I think was the commenting on other blogs. The most valuable was seeing how other people perceive the world. For instance I did a bottle of water as a picture for one of my posts, not sure if anyone else would have done that but I did and it shows that even the most mundane of things can be viewed as important. I would recommend this to others...not as complicated just posting a photo and reflecting at the end of the week, comments on other blogs not needed.

3. Instead of grateful I think I would do a blog of The things that are most important to you, so very similar in the fact that grateful has somewhat to do with importance but different in that grateful is more vague whereas mine is less vague and has something more specific to post.

Week 1 reflection

I do not have much of a different outlook or feel or thought process because I am always grateful for the things around me, granted I take things for granted but that does not mean I am any less grateful for what I have and know and see and feel.

Spider
weaving a web on the corner of a building, I'll take the time to pause my movements and snap a picture of a creature most overlook....given a bad reputation for all the ones who are poisonous, spiders are seen as scary and bad but in reality we need them to survive....if we don't bother them they won't bother us and the same is held true for most other of nature's creatures....a variety in one species and all are beautiful and amazing and important despite how dangerous or not they are....
