I have been keeping up with taking my photos some days are better than others - but I have not uploaded to flickr in a week - thus not here either. i've put myself on hiatus there. I think I can be alowed a weekly upload -just not to obsess about explore or post to groups and such.....lets see how that goes.

Day 260/365 in Project 365 started April 25 2007

Grattitude: I'm grateful to be working indoors today. I listened to a talk about health disparities for Native Americans hisotorically and currently today. It reminded me how blessed I am to have good health care, and that my parents and grandparents have good health care. I am also fortunate to work with people who are trying to work to change health disparities.

Project 365 Day 259

Grattitude: I am happy i decided to take the camera to work this morning. I am grateful that we were able to get an AWD car to replace hubby's truck when it broke - so that we both have a safe vehicle to drive to work when the roads are ice and snow covered. I am grateful for anti-lock brakes which helped me in the intersection today!

Day 257 of 365 in Project 365 started April 2007

Gratitude: I'm grateful my hubby cooks and that we are both willing to try new things - and even willing to take the risk that sometimes they won't be what we expected - sometimes on the other hand they will be even better than we'd hoped. I'm grateful to be loved.

If you love this bead you can purhcase your very own from the artist on etsy ltsexpressions@etsy.com she also has some of her beads here on flickr. www.flickr.com/photos/ltsexpressions/

Gratitude Today I am grateful for the gift of this beautiful bead. The swirls are exactly what I've been attracted to lately. I was looking at some of Andy Goldsworthy's work this weekend and feeling especially attracted to the spirals - then today I was given this wonderful bead with spirals and bluish black dots. I am also grateful for my husband making us stew and soda bread. for the artists in my life and the friends

Daily Examen - things to consider each day

1. Express Gratitude 2. Petition for light (see self & ohters in God's eyes, ask to see the role only I can play) 3. Review the day: look at day's actions, omissions, thoughts & desires what does this tell me aobut myself in relation to self, others, God, the world 4. Lift out something & ask for help 5. look ahead - how do I want to carry on (today - the rest of my life what / who do I want to be master of my life? what are my core values? )
