Dad

Kristine Binder

Day 4 of 30
Dad.
My very first guy. 83 years young today. Still strutting down the sidewalk on his own. 
The man who taught me to appreciate the weight of a good book in your hands, an effective argument, fine wine, great music and a meal cooked with love. He is a straight shooter who tells it like it is.  He pulls no punches and is often abrasive. 
My dad has educated me on the finer (read:most important) things in life. 
I appreciate his unfailing and copious tough love. I am grateful that he is in my corner and love him so very much. 
Peace

Election

Kristine Binder

Day 3 of 30
Election day. 🇺🇸
Many people have already voted. But today is the final day to cast a ballot for this election. Many of us differ on our politics, however today is the day to put up or shut up. People have put on a uniform, fought and died so that we all have the right to cast a ballot for the candidate we feel is best for the job. I never take that responsibility lightly!
I never take that right for granted.
I exercised my freedom to cast a ballot for our future.
I cast a ballot for love.
Peace

Departed

Day 2 of 30
The departed.
I am grateful for those who have gone before me…clearing a path, teaching me lessons to last a lifetime and saving space for me in the afterlife.
Remember all those who have passed away as it is All Souls’ day today.
Peace

Food

Kristine Binder

Day 1 of 30
Food, family, full table
Food is my love language and feeding my kids (an their friends) is how I show them my heart.
Sunday dinners have returned to my home. Dinner is never fancy, we don’t have fine China or cloth napkins but what we do have is love…. and for that I am so grateful. 
Peace

Gratitude

Kristine Binder

Gratitude is the best attitude. ~Author Unknown
I practice intentional gratitude as a form of daily reflection in a journal. However, during the month of November I challenge others to do the same. Each day I post one thing that I am grateful for along with a photo. Just one thing each day.
If you join me by posting one thing each day, by Thanksgiving you will have been reminded of 22 reasons you are grateful and by the end of the month you will have 30 reasons you are grateful. I hope you will join me and live an attitude of gratitude this month.
Peace
