Thank and Grow Rich – Day 7

7 February 20197 February 2019 - Wes Books, Growth, Life
A neighborhood street coated in fog.

I need you to know something about snow in Colorado. Yes, it does get cold. Yes it does snow. But somehow the laws of physics do not apply at high altitude.

When you are young, you believe certain things. Then life does its best to ground some of those things out of you. Well I say, “Not this time, Life!”

Detailed photo of the planet Venus. Golden, orange, and brown tones. Black background.

Sometimes you see planets and they humble you and fill you with a sense of awe. And sometimes you eat tortilla chips and feel the same way.

Underwater scene. Brilliant light and all manner of blue hues. Underwater sea life.

Rangent: when you go on a rant that is tangential to what you are actually discussing. Here comes a rangent. Still grateful. Just need to talk.

Garden with burial site of family pet. Decorated with small stones, artifacts from the garden, and a pink flamingo.

Our betta fish, Moonlight swam his last swim sometime between Saturday PM and Sunday AM. He was the first pet for our family.

Bubbles in water.

Kids, Sweaters, and Bubbles. Today’s blessings are a mix of the basics. But often you need to go out of your routine or comfort zone for the good stuff.

Thank and Grow Rich – Day 2

Water rippling gently in minimal light.

Ahhhh, that time of day when it is dark outside, you’ve gotten rest, and you sit quietly with no one needing anything from you. Perfect.

Breakfast Sandwiches!

Photo of a grilled cheese sandwich with egg in the middle, on a plate, on a table.

What started as a Saturday morning college tradition has become a family favorite. Many have accidentally made this sandwich in various forms of stupor.

Seagull standing in water with seagulls and fence in background.

Today’s gratitudes include a seagull and ice cream. Not together though! I’m already learning to see the great in the routine. Sticking with it? We’ll see.

I am embarking on the Thank and Grow Rich challenge: seek daily gratitude for 30 days. I will document each day the three blessings/things-I’m-grateful-for.

I am just like you and also different in lots of ways but still so similar. I have hopes and dreams and reality often tries to sidetrack those things. So I am pushing against what is normal (to me) and doing my best to teach my kids and each other how to pursue what excites us and makes us come alive. The world needs more people living, not just existing.
