Well I think you all know me by now sweet friends
I'm the one who always bites off more than I can chew
Who jumps in wholeheartedly
Wagging my tail like a puppy
At the excitement of a new idea
Before fully thinking it through


Like how about I commit to a daily gratitude blog?

I am grateful to all of you posting on this blog. You are thankful for love, friendship, relationships, health and good times. No one writes that they are thankful for big cars, face lifts or jewelry. It's all about what money can't buy. It's all about what counts. You confirm my faith in humanity. I am grateful. Blessings.

These days I am grateful for discovering a spleen cyst in time to be able to remove it in time! :) Everything is happening with a reason, and life is never boring! Nor good or bad, it's just life! <3

I am grateful for being able to afford a week holiday away with my family. We are outside in the sun, surrounded by trees and birds. My girls are playing outside and are making new friends. I am reading a beautiful book, and in a few hours I will drink a nice glass of sauvignon blanc. Life is good!

Tracy I think we all knew you were being ambitious in planning to post every day but we love you for giving it a go anyway! Life is about having ambitions that aren't easy to achieve. I hope you have an amazing birthday, surrounded by the love of your family & friends.
I'm grateful for my family and a husband who indulges my art habit and gives me encouragement at every turn.

Thank you for your inspiration and sharing! I am grateful for the sound of the cicadas; the way the morning light is diffused by summer's humidity; a garden that is lush with corn, squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and so much more; the richness of friends; my 93-year-old mother's health, crazy sense of humor, and easy laugh; and the joy of being with my balance-of-life partner.
Karen said…
Glad you are having such an amazing time...its really a lot of fun to follow it! I'm grateful to live at the base of cool mountains...I'm about to hit to road up to Saluda to see Jane at Random Arts and get out of this balmy heat down here in the Upstate! :P
Susan said…
This morning I find myself feeling so grateful for the love of a good man, a strong man, an honorable man. It took us a while to find each other, but this December marks 10 years for us. I'm so grateful everyday for a partnership that stretches and challenges me and fills me up in so many ways.
Good morning, I am greatful for seeing so much good in the world today!
Stephanie said…
Dear Tracy,

Because of your generous initiative I realized not only to focus more on the credit side of life but also learnt a lot reading all those lovely comments.

Thank you and happy birthday from Stephanie, Germany

Hi Tracey...Each and every yday I'm grateful for my son Matt, who has been my rock through some tough times lately. He has been my rock - and I'm so thankful he's my son. Once I asked God for a blessing - and he brought me Matt!

I am grateful for beginning to reconnect with my creativity again, which is something I enjoyed without question or hesitation as a child. I am grateful for my art journal that provides me with a safe space to paint and draw with joy and spontaneity. And I am grateful for The Painted Guru interviews that introduced me to you and your wonderful work, as well as a community of amazing artists that inspire me and give me hope for my own creative future :)

I'm just totally grateful today, not for

I am alive at this time to be
part of it, what a miracle!

I am so grateful for my art, without my art I would not be me. My art has been there for me my entire life. A steadfast companion when life is tough and when life is amazing, my art is there. It is always there for me and even waits in the wings when life gets in the way. It has helped me work through many aspects of my life and helped me see things more clearly. My art has reached out to others and helped them feel loved or connected. I am so grateful to have this special talent in my life <3
Unknown said…
Today I'm grateful for opportunity! Every new day is an opportunity to do better, to be healthier, to make something. Today I have the opportunity of a job interview for a new art teaching position. Nothing may come of it but it's always nice to get a call. Tomorrow will be a painting day to reflect!

I am greatful for paint and the childlike wonder that takes over when you smoosh it around with your fingers and the bright colors that make me happy even when it's gloomy outside.

So very grateful for the journey I'm on right now creating a new and beautiful life for myself. I have so many options and choices I get to make - where I'll live, what I get to do, new friends I'll make. I am excited and looking forward to the next chapter as a single woman again! Thank you, Universe!

So, in continuation of truly opening myself to light, I give thanks to Art that has brought me to so many places and has introduced me to a multitude of people. It has brought me to laughs that turned to tears and it has brought release from sadness and despair.

Starting with art at the age of four and embracing it as part of my being from then on, I relish the fact that I now live an artistic life and have the privilege to raise my children with this belief that you can do anything, be anything, just be true to yourself. Art exposes that truth in us all and…

Art is for everyone! (Excerpt from my website, www.rachelleeason.com)

Thanks to art, my journey carried me to you, my friend! Have a happy, happy, wonderfully beautiful birthday, Tracy!
