~ 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!

– The warm glow of late afternoon sun in our apartment. My favorite time of day in this place…
– A bike ride after work with F, to take care of some errands. It was really nice to be riding bikes together again, especially on a beautiful afternoon — 78 degrees!
– Rain! We got rain this week. It’s been so dry and warm here, the rain was really needed. And the smell! It’s been so long since we’ve all smelled rain!
– My Honey… he’s so caring and tender.
– Drinking high quality tea. It makes such a difference. I drank some supermarket-quality black tea this week and it made me appreciate the good stuff even more.
– Being my own boss. Being in charge of my own days. Creating each day with my own hands!
– Several days of really amazing energy!
– Taking advantage of that boundless energy to get a ton of stuff done that had been weighing heavily on me. What a relief.
– Antibiotics. Geez, that should really be first on my list. And on every single list that I write!!!
– Riding through the rich neighborhoods and observing what happens in a yard when money is no object! Beautiful…
– Errands on weekdays, when stores aren’t very crowded.
– No library books, not much reading. I’m liking that a lot right now. More time to think… reflect… be…
– The way my cat quietly reached over and rested her hand on my jacket cuff while I was taking a nap next to her on the grass.
– Lilacs!!!
– Watching Lost in Translation, one of my favorite movies, the other night; it cheers me up every single time I watch it. It was just what I needed that night, when I was feeling really rough from my medicine and just completely worn out from the previous days.
– Watching some old Dick Cavett shows with F; the Groucho Marx one was great!

What have you been grateful for this past week?

Hi Lindsey!
Happy Sunday to you! Beautiful pictures!
Fun to read your list. How wonderful to have lilacs blooming! I’m still waiting on ours, they are just little buds right now.
I love lilacs.
I enjoy seeing the neighborhoods with amazing landscaping too. I love neighborhoods with old, gorgeous houses that have lots of character.
Being your own boss… what a good feeling!
Lots and lots of love!
Taryn
Beautiful blessings! And what gorgeous flowers. I too have been really appreciating good quality tea – its true, nothing compares to a really good cup. I am drinking purple tulsi right now and it is so wonderful!
You and your lists are special…
I loved ‘Lost in Translation’ too.
Wow! Your photos are absolutely amazing.
Much love
