Gratitude A - Z: S

Sister - I love my Sister, we had our ups and downs in childhood, but I cant imagine not seeing or knowing about her. Life has scattered us in different places, but in our global village, we are as close to each other as can be.
I send my love over to you, wish you and your family nothing but the best! I wasn't aware of this before, I'm even thankful for this enlightment,  but I really don't know who would I be without her. I would probably be a totally different person... Thank you for your love, your patience, the world you have shown me, the real and skype-hugs :) I miss you so much, and I love you! Don't ever doubt that, although you know best that I can be a pain in the.... ehem.... :) Thank you for being there!

Sight - Thank you for the wonderful gift of sight! I cannot imagine not seeing all that is around me at the moment, all the wonderful colours, people, places. I do wear glasses, and I have worn them for so long I don't consider them an obstacle. Thank you for this wonderful ability to see anything and everything :) I am eternally grateful!

Smile - Thank you for the ability to smile, to acknowledge what good happens around me and share a smile with the world! How lovely is it to have a free, happy soul :) Thank you for making my life relatively easy, all the lessons learned, all the hardships.... I can look back with gratitude and smile toward the future :) Thank you! A sincere smile shared with a stranger is just priceless :)

There are many more "S" words, the list is endless, I just picked a few. Thank you for the time YOU spend here, and I hope you can relate, and feel my gratitude :)

Thank you!

pre-challenge post

So, tomorrow is the start of a wonderful challenge called "A to Z April 2011 Challenge". It is huge!!
I am very happy to be part of it.

My theme for Reach for The Sky is:

Gratitude

As per the advice from the "A to Z..." co-hosts I will limit the posts to 200 words. My aim is to thank for max 5 things per letter, believe me, the list for each letter got so long I had to make some rules for myself! Some letters are no too popular, so it will be less than 5. But still, I will keep up with the gratitude mood that I have developed on my less official Blog.

Same as on English Speaking Zone, I wanted to make a note of some basic stats.
I would also like to know what will change (anything at all ;) ) after the challenge.
