Building a foundation

I keep returning to the concept that everything starts with gratitude. Gratitude is the foundation on which I hope to build my life.

Today, I am grateful for nice memories with my family. My brother and his wife and kids all went to a lake where we practiced kayaking. It was great fun and very relaxing.

A group of Mexicans had gathered nearby and were blasting their tex-mex music... I love it! Who could ever remain unhappy if they heard zydeco or tex-mex music? It's so upbeat and dance-able and a veritable celebration of everything that is life!

Lovely day!
