52 Weeks #11

Today I want to share my gratitude list because every day that I get to do what I do is something to be utterly thankful for along with...

~ continued inspiration for the 52 Weeks Project
~ local artists who freely share their time & talents with children
~ a job in my community where I can contribute in a way that is extremely meaningful for me
~ delicious pizza at Casa Mia ;)
~ friends, both near and far, who are always such an encouragement and such joy-bringers
~ great books to get lost in
~ beautiful music that transports me to another place
~ steamy, creamy Mexican hot chocolate
~ packages in the mail 
~ laughter...in abundance
~ and for the buffalo (bison) who represent Manitoba, the province in which I was born

Buffalo or bison is the ultimate symbol of abundance.  He teaches us to meet challenges head on if we are to fulfill our goals.  They can be stubborn, but work as a team reminding us not to be impatient but to work with strong determination.
