~ 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!

– Our neighbor squirrels have BABIES! Two of them, we think. You just really can’t get much cuter. I feel privileged to be so close and be able to watch them! They live in the attic of the house right next door to us. Pictures hopefully coming soon…
– Gardening this week. It felt really really good. And was just what I needed.
– Being outside in my garden in the warm glow and long shadows of the evening sun.
– Lilacs scent while I gardened all day! Lilac scent in our apartment! Lilacs by my head while I sleep! What a gift scented flowers are, huh!
– Good music, played loudly, on great speakers. Sometimes it’s just what’s called for… something that’s bigger than you are, to drown out your own thoughts… and all that’s required is to listen and enjoy.
– Spare energy for hand stands!! 🙂 And the satisfaction of getting better and better at them, the more I do! What fun~~ There is such joy in moving my body like I used to as a kid!
– Accomplishing lots of moneymaking work, which always feels satisfying.
– Having that moneymaking work valued so very much by my bosses.
– Sitting outside with tea, in the fresh morning air. I’m liking that new ritual a lot.
– A birthday package in the mail from my sister — I can’t wait to open it! I don’t think the excitement ever wears off of seeing a package dropped off by the mail man, around birthday time!!
– Feeling that it’s an accomplishment that I’m here to celebrate another birthday (coming up soon). That sounds dramatic… (I don’t like drama) …but it’s the honest truth. I’m so glad I’m here for this birthday.
– My loved ones.

What are some gratitudes from your week?

I love your gratitudes, I love your beautiful photos…Happy Birthday soon! xxx
I wonder whether your neighbor is grateful about squirrel babies in his/her attic….I sure am grateful for a squirrel-hunting cat as they do an incredible amount of damage on the houses and in the gardens.
Yes! Celebrate life! That is so wonderful. I love sipping tea in the morning outside, it is the BEST ♥ Happy coming birthday!
Hi Lindsey,
Firstly, thanks so much for taking the time to leave comments on my blog. It means so much to me to read your kind words.
Nextly, (is that a word? haha) love your list this week and WOW- what gorgeous photos!! I love the cloud picture and the lilac picture. You have some incredible lilacs growing there. Our lilacs don’t get very much sun, but we have one in a pot that I want to plant in a sunny spot.
Your photos are so beautiful- you could sell pictures if you wanted to. 🙂
Fingers crossed I’ll get to see pictures of the squirrel babies.
Garden time.. heavenly!
Glad that your bosses appreciate your contribution. It feels so good to be appreciated for what you do.
Happy Birthday soon!!
Lots of Love,
Taryn
I agree with Taryn–you could make money selling your photos–they are just exquisite!! I love how upbeat your gratitudes are this week–proof you are getting better and better every day! I too am grateful for lilacs and their wonderful old fashioned scent that you can always count on :). Hope you have another good week, and Happy Birthday!! <3<3
