~ 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!

– Having Sunday nights not be anxiety-inducing and filled with dread, as they were when I was in school and then later working a 9-5 job. Sunday nights are now restful…peaceful…
– Having a hang-low weekend at home with my Honey, F, simply enjoying our new home together. It felt great. ♥ We love it.
– Doing my moneymaking work outside on the back porch in the shade of our pole beans, on the most gorgeous evenings of the year! This is something I’ve dreamed of doing, and I can’t believe I’m actually doing it!
– Practically living outside. Going inside only for food, water, and bathroom! This makes me so happy 🙂
– Cooler weather, and hints of autumn. It’ll get hot again but this break has been great.
– Solar cooking so much stuff! We haven’t turned on the oven or stove since we moved in, apart from heating water for tea and a couple other small things. All cooking has been done in the solar oven, with a few things on the grill. I completely love it!
– Crickets. I can’t imagine a summer night without crickets!
– My Honey. I love him so ♥
– Hanging out on our lush, private front porch together, reading. This is all such a contrast from the apartment we moved out of; what a gift.
– A couple of rest days and a good night’s sleep to help me fight off a cold I was getting.
– Taking a little walk at dusk yesterday. And feeling safe while doing that. A huge and wonderful thing. This neighborhood is so much better!
– The smell of fabric after it’s been on the clothesline in the sunshine all day.
What’s on your gratitude list from this past week?

Wow, your solar oven sounds really interesting! We’ve been using our grill and cooking in dutch ovens a lot lately but a solar oven sounds easier than dutch ovens- no coals to heat up. Your new home sounds very lovely and peaceful, that is definitely something to be very grateful for 🙂
Hi Annie!
Thanks for your comment – and yeah the solar oven is just the neatest thing ever! I love it.
Cooking in dutch ovens… ooo…. that’s sounds neat. You mean, on the grill?
And yes, our home is at the top of my gratitude list right now! LOVING it.
Love to you… xxx
Hello sweet Lindsey!
So glad to have you a part of Gratitude Sunday. 🙂 I only did a few things on the computer while my mom was here (blog posts.) So happy to have the chance to write you back.
I LOVE hearing about how much you guys are enjoying your new place!! That’s so so wonderful. I couldn’t be happier for you. I love hearing about you sitting on the front porch, being able to take walks and do your money-making work in the garden.
I smile whenever I think of you guys in your new home. 🙂
Love, Taryn
So wonderful to re-connect Taryn, on gratitude sunday! Missed you; I’m so glad your mom got to visit. Special times 🙂 🙂
Sending much love,
Lindsey
