~ I’m once again joining Taryn over at Wooly Moss Roots in her Gratitude Sunday tradition. ~
Gratitude Sunday is a time to slow down and remember those thankful moments that graced our week. One reason I love keeping a daily gratitude journal is because it helps keep things in perspective for me. Each Sunday, I open my journal and share some of those moments with you here. If you’d like to join in, just leave a comment!
Gratitude is powerful energy. I love hearing others’ gratitudes!

– Receiving over a foot of snow!
– Accomplishing a few things that had been weighing on me more than I realized, and once I did them I felt so much lighter.
– Watching some Seinfeld episodes. I need to do that more often — they always make me laugh!
– Eating lunch of soup & bread with my mom at their sunny kitchen table one weekday this week. Simple pleasures.
– Bad days ending well.
– Hugging my Honey tightly after we both had a really bad day; how comforting just to hold each other.
– Taking a brisk walk in the deep snow.
– Watching our hilarious neighbor squirrels straining to crawl through the deep, deep snow on the roof outside our kitchen window! CUTE!
– Seeing a couple of inspiring shows this week on TV, especially one about Joan Baez.
– Talking with my neighbor Darlene this week both in person and on the phone. She is such a loving, accepting, forgiving, heartful, enlightening soul. In the majority of our interactions with other people in this world, we are not seen for who we really are, and what we say is not honored. Depending on the situation, this can wound us very deeply. And so to actually, truly, be seen and honored by someone feels like salve to your soul. Darlene is one of those people who sees you and honors you, 100%, no matter what.
– Rearranging our apartment! I love how doing that breathes new energy into a space.
– Bit by bit, slowly getting things more in order around our house.
– Getting some significant things accomplished this week & crossed off the to-do list.
– The way our living room feels like a tropical conservatory today with the warmth and all the green plants and the little table fountain bubbling away, while there was a mountain of snow just outside the window!

What gratitudes have graced your week?

Snow, soup, neigbors, simplicity…we find gratitude in the same beautiful things.
Much love to you dear Lindsey
Ahhhh, we sure do Trish!
Love to you this week.
Lindsey,
Wow! Your place does look tropical in that picture at the end. How beautiful! Your indoor plants look so happy, healthy and thriving. We only have two indoor plants- both aloe vera. They are sorta happy… luckily, the don’t require much care! 🙂
I love the feeling of being so much lighter after accomplishing tasks that have been hanging over me. Good job finishing those.
Seinfeld…. always great for bringing lots of laughter! I haven’t watched that in so long.
I love what you wrote about hugging your honey after a bad day. Cuddling with the one you love makes everything seem better, doesn’t it?
Watching those squirrels sounds so adorable.
I LOVE the whole part you wrote about your neighbor Darlene. I know exactly what you mean. It can be quite painful when people don’t see us for who we really are. But when people do…. it’s the best feeling in the world.
The picture you have at the top is really neat. What is that?
Enjoyed your list full of appreciation.
Wishing you a relaxing Sunday.
LOTS OF LOVE!
Taryn
Thanks for your wonderful comment Taryn! Love connecting each Sunday. The picture at the top is of silver lupine leaves that I pressed. 🙂
