Gratitude Day 95 - New York, New York

The number of times I switched the bracelet yesterday - once!

Dear Friends,

Once again, “Bonnes Vacances" is here! New York, New York, here I come!

This vacation is not about mojitos, dancing till dawn or midnight hot tub invites! 

This is the kind of holiday where I will be wearing seven hats at the same time; 

mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and the inescapable 
ex-wife! I’ll certainly lose my head in all these hats, but in a different way than 
in Cuba!  

I will be grateful to my nieces for asking me to go shopping with them. 
I will be grateful to my son and daughter-in-law for asking me to sit with my granddaughters for a few hours. 
I will be grateful to my sister for suggesting the two of us should leave everybody behind and lunch in Manhattan by ourselves. 
I will be grateful to my brother in-law for wanting me to cook his favourite Iranian dish. And I will be grateful to my ex-husband for accepting that me being “alone” doesn’t mean we are getting back together!

As far as the purple bracelet goes, let’s just say "What purple bracelet?"
One of these hats bound to be too snug or too lose!
I figure, as long as I don’t totally lose sight of my “pledge,” I can afford to slip out of the waggon for a few days!

Have a marvellous week everyone!
