Sunday’s a good day to remember what we’ve been grateful for over the past week, don’t you think? I’m joining Taryn over at Wooly Moss Roots in her Gratitude Sunday tradition, and here’s my list:
– A break in the heat finally!!
– Coming into my favorite season of all, Autumn.
– Backing up photos and finally deleting my camera cards — there were photos on there from last November! It feels great to have gotten that project accomplished.
– The abundance of fruits & vegetables at this time of year. It’s all I’ve been craving & eating.
– The impossibly delicious Colorado peaches I’ve been getting from the farmer’s market.
– Being at my garden during an incredible rainstorm.
– Being at my garden, period. I was needing a major change of venue this week, and it felt great to go hang out there a couple times, knowing beforehand that I was going to refrain from doing any work in it.
– Genuine, hysterical laughter!
– Save for a morning meeting, not having to be anywhere other than home this week, and having the time to rest my poor body. I’m just so sick…and have been getting sicker…but they’re not sure what it is yet.
– Feeling more emotionally whole this weekend, after a week of feeling profoundly broken, empty, desolate, drained, and hopeless — both in a physical and emotional sense.
– My Hubby and my family and my cat, for keeping me upright with their support and love and laughs!
– The color of the sky, right this minute as I write this…
– Harvesting 12 lbs of gorgeous wild grapes this week!! And starting on the process of making them into grape freezer jam & maybe even fruit leather.
– The most incredible wild grape smell filling our whole house, from the two bubbling pots on the stove right now!
– Working on a mandala, which I haven’t done for a while. I’m not that artistically inclined in the way of drawing or painting, but mandalas…I just love creating those.
– A cup of fresh mint tea, savored in my garden.
– Eating Gazpacho made from garden stuff!!
– A cleansing rainstorm.
– Writing my gratitudes each day in my journal, and each Sunday here… and reading other peoples’ gratitudes too.

My garden and my knitting have been the best blessing in the physical sense. In my spiritual sense, the blessing of my husband recuperating from major surgery and seeing his spirits rise to the occasion 🙂
What lovely gratitudes and what beautiful photos.xxx
Thank you Trish!!
Hi B,
Gardens, knitting, and a husband on the mend are wonderful things to be thankful for! Thanks for sharing 🙂

When I read that you were so sick and getting sicker, it made me want to give you a big huge hug! It must be frustrating to not know what it is. And yet you still focus on your gratitudes and blessings in your life, you are an inspiration Lindsey! As your very strong spirit gets through this, I’m sure there will be a reason for it all. I admire you. Do you know that? Better tell you just in case. 🙂
Wild grapes- how awesome!
Looking forward to seeing your next mandala! And hoping you’ll make a coloring book with them!
I always love your photos. The clouds in the last one are amazing.
Love you!
Taryn
Taryn, you are the sweetest ever.
SO much love to you!
Lindsey
