Looking Back in Gratitude

June 14, 2014 by Dede Osborn Leave a Comment

I have been so blessed in my life!  I want to always be aware of the nurturing and support, love and belief, present for me for as long as I can remember:  

  • My family–always engaged, loving, encouraging and fun.  
  • My friends and colleagues–supportive and affirming at any age (well, maybe Gretchen did steal the money in the treasury in 3rd grade, but for the most part…)  
  • My women friends who have walked hand in hand with me during some very dark days (except for one who caused some very dark days, ‘nuf said.)  
  • The men who have loved and admired the woman in me.  
  • Mentors and teachers who believed  when I doubted.  
  • My children who, even when younger, were concerned, encouraging, and very sweet in their love.  Corcovado

I have had the good fortune to be surrounded by love and nurtured by others.  Also I was born into a world and time of economic and educational opportunity; a nation growing and rewarding potential; a family with drive for my success; and an open road with clear expectations. expired domains  It was only my own small vision of my potential that remained a pretty consistent ‘speed bump.’

I have been blessed and continue to flourish.  (And You have always been present.  Thou art great.  My guide and protector.)
