~ 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!

– Feeling good and accomplishing so much in the garden this week! Feeling much more caught up and on track with everything that needs to be done out there.
– Having the time to work in the garden. How wonderful to be able to go over on weekdays and work in the garden instead of being tied up at a job.
– The $1 produce grab bags that our local health food store puts out. Sometimes the produce is still almost perfect!
– Making applesauce with delicious $1-bag apples.
– Free produce scraps for our compost heap!
– Beautiful weather for working outside this week.
– All of my loved ones!!!
– Taking control of a day where I felt melancholy and in a funk, and turning it around into a wonderful day. I love it when I can manage to do that.
– Remembering to have patience by repeating to myself, “That’s okay, I can wait” — and feeling a calm come over me when I say those words. While waiting for a slow car to make up its mind, “That’s okay, I can wait.” When I’ve just missed the bus and have to wait for the next one, “That’s okay, I can wait.” And while waiting for my body to heal more and more, I’m trying my best to say “That’s okay, I can wait.” (That one’s harder!)
– Roasted vegetables without any oil; both my body and taste buds like them better this way. I love roasted vegetables so much!
– Napping outside in the sun yesterday. Bliss. With the sun warming and relaxing my body like that, I felt like I was soaking in a hot spring!
– Going to a “sound bath” of crystal bowls, gongs, and didgeridoos with my mom; that was fantastic! What a cool experience.

What gratitudes have graced your week?
*****
Would love to have heard that ‘soundbath’…bet it was wonderful.
Love your list Lindsey.
Much love to you.
Hi Lindsey!!
Love your list!
I love what you commented about parallel gratitudes each week. I know just what you mean, it’s wonderful how that works.
I love hearing about all you’ve accomplished in the garden- that’s awesome! I haven’t accomplished much in the garden yet, Jeff has mostly been doing it all. My times out there have been keeping my eye on Bracken the whole time. 🙂
I turned my head away for a moment because I wanted to take a picture and in that split second he was trying to pull up a garlic plant. He’s so quick.
I liked what you said about turning a funk day into a good day. I had a day where I was in a funk and turned it around at the end of the day, thank goodness. It’s not fun being in a funk, but it’s a good teacher to let me know when I need some more self-love.
I love your saying “That’s okay, I can wait.”
Usually Bracken falls asleep for his naps so easily, but I’ve had some days where he has been not wanting to take his nap. I rely on his nap time to regenerate myself and have a little alone time. It’s been hard for me to be patient because I get so exhausted. I think if i repeat your mantra, it will help a lot. Thanks for that idea.
That sound bath sounds lovely.
Have a wonderful week.
I’m grateful for our friendship.
Love, Taryn
