Gratitude

What are we grateful for at this present moment? There is so much to be thankful for. It’s not what we are lacking, it is about the good we are experiencing right now. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022

Losing

We lose all the time. We grow old, although that is a positive. Friends come and go. There are births and there are deaths. Seasons comes and goes. We have to celebrate all the seasons in our lives. Every situation is a teaching moment and we are all here to learn. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2022
