Day 1

For the last year I have had the privilege of following my friends Janet's posts on her year of being grateful. I say privileged as through her reflections you learnt more about her life's journey but also came to understand more about her as a person. Amazing mother, wife, friend, funny, wise, loving, nice sarcasm in her humour, always up for a challenge.... Such a gift to share. Alas I now experience some sadness to see she has come up to her 366 day, the blog coming to an end. I have enjoyed her writings and insights, watched her grow through them throughout the year. So wise or unwise I have decided to take up the challenge, I say challenge as I believe it won’t be so easy initially. Making a daily commitment and on those more challenging or feeling like crap days bringing out the good. But I am going to try. So if any one chooses to follow or read...........I apologise now for my spelling and grammar though I believe this will improve as each day goes on. So to start my year I am grateful that Janet came into my life initially thorough paddling and now on our not so 6 monthly mountain climbs. I am grateful that she shared her last 366 days with me and her friends and giving me the inspiration to have my own year of being grateful. The picture is the view of our 2nd last mountain climb the 3 of us girls did. Thanks Janet
