Grateful For .... [this month's selfies]

A stray gray hair here and there, and even some wrinkles.

A much needed break from the daily grind. My escape to warm Florida came at the perfect time.

Strength.
Feeling Strong
I've suffered a bit of a set back with my running - as a result, I've had to cut back and focus on building more strength in my left leg. At first, I was sad, but I realize that it will all come in good time.

The blessings of home and family. My kitchen rocks, especially during the holiday season when there's so much to do.
Thankful For My Kitchen
[Now, if only I could clone myself ..... wait, I don't think my kids would like the double nagging that certainly would ensue!]

I had fun with this month's selfie challenge - and for that I am truly grateful for the [in the picture] challenge headed by Christy. You can find out more about this challenge at her site.

    All great reasons to be grateful and my favourite is the kitchen shot!

    That is a cool idea for the double-you shot! And I agree that those are all reasons to feel grateful.

    That last shot is so much fun-yah, and the nagging. Hmmmm. Hope your leg starts to come around. These things take time. Being thankful for a gray hair If that were me, I'd be extra thankful-they're making themselves known more and more. Happy weekend Shirley.

    Great shots, love the strength shot and your attitude toward your disruption to your running. There's always something that stops us from meeting our goals & I thin that going with the flow works best.

    I love all your "thankfuls" and your images are such great illustrations. I really like the one where you are sitting next to the Buddha. And that last one is clever - at first I thought you had a twin!
    One gray strand? Hm, I think I might have one or two colored strands left.... :-)
