Comments on: This Week I Am Thankful for Everything… Almost http://onlinegratitudejournal.com/this-week-i-am-thankful-for-everything-almost/ --- a Life of Gratitude and Grins Sat, 04 Feb 2012 00:56:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Maya http://onlinegratitudejournal.com/this-week-i-am-thankful-for-everything-almost/comment-page-1/#comment-107 Maya Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:30:41 +0000 http://onlinegratitudejournal.com/?p=998#comment-107 Niels, Thanks for the note! You are right about the bibs. They save the day. Nothing like being comfortable when under stress... or any time for that matter. My mother also had Alzheimer's. Amid the tears that came from the heartbreak of losing the person while retaining the body, there were moments of truth and moments of joy that I still cherish. Those are the moments you will remember in the days and years to come. I do hope you are enjoying your time at the farmhouse. It sounds wonderful, but I do wish you would share the circus experience with The Gratitude Journal readers. How many of us have had such an experience? Going to the circus and the tents blow away! You are invited to contribute to this site any time you wish. For those who are not familiar with Niels, please visit his site http://bibprofessor.wordpress.com. You will be in for a real treat. Thanks for the comment, Niels. (The boys leave this week so I will be gathering pictures for the site.) Maya Niels,

I really hope that your overalls help you survive all the up and downs, so warmest greetings from the farmhouse in Denmark, where we have had our first grandson in the last week, it has been busy, but such a pleasure, especially when we presented him for my 94 year old mother, who has alzheimer, and experienced that while she is not "normal" in relation to us, she was completely aware and present in relation to her great grandson, amazing to experience that ! that's something I am very thankful for right now, take care Niels Hi Maya

I must admit that I have enjoyed our personal exchanges of emails over months, but I am so happy that now everyone can see and read you. That does not mean we cannot continue our correspondence. Of course, you know you are invited to contribute to the Gratitude Journal any time you have something you want to say. And, now.... Welcome to the Gratitude Journal.

Reading a post only to find my name jump out at me was a pleasant surprise. As you've probably noticed, I'm down to one Gratitude Watch a week at this point, but I think it's going to land on Sunday morning, which is sort of fitting. All the best, and good luck with Oliver. <em>-- Daniel</em> Maya –
