- The life I've lived - I wouldn't trade all the bad crap for any amount of money because I was blessed with a wonderful daughter.
- The ocean - it provides me solace, cleans out the cobwebs in my soul, and connects me back to me.
- Hummingbirds. I'm grateful for the reminder that strength and fortitude resides in all of us if we just push ourself hard enough.
- Bumblebees - they shouldn't be able to fly...but they do.
- Possibilities. I'm so thankful that I'm awake to the possibilities in my life.
- Cool nights and open windows. What a wondeful night's sleep!
- Managing. I'm very thankful to the universe that I'm managing myself toward my ultimate goal.
- Laundry. I love the way my apartment smells so fresh and clean when I do laundry.
- Chance encounters. I met a woman this morning as I was leaving my parking lot for work. She was dressed in the most beautiful, jewelled, authentic African clothing I have ever seen. Wrapped in a pale green, hand embroidered delicate cotton scarf she glowed with happiness. I stopped beside her and complimented her on her outfit. She thanked me and said today was her country's (Africa) holiday and she was wearing her native dress in celebration.
- Writing. I finally have a way to express all those things I've kept bottled up for so many years.
Just a Bit about Me
- Cathy Thorne
- I love living in the South: great weather and kind, friendly people here! I have an awesome adult daughter who continues to amaze and delight me at every turn. I write mysteries for fun, love-Love-LOVE dark chocolate, and am experimenting here with a food holiday blog. Hope you'll drop me a line from time to time!
