~ 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!

– A really wonderful bike ride today with my Honey. I needed it — and enjoyed it — so much!!!
– Having a second bike to use as a backup, after I got a flat tire a block into our bike ride. I don’t know why I get so many stupid flat tires!
– Beginning to harvest some beautiful produce from the garden! This week, radishes and arugula.
– Gorgeous weather on my birthday, garden time, tea & a nap on the grass under the lilacs, feeling great, a delicious dinner with family, a sunset stroll with everyone, the most thoughtful and wonderful presents (!!), awesome birthday cake, relaxing & not doing any have-to’s — how much better can a birthday get?! I loved it.
– My mom’s beautiful homemade-with-lots-of-love birthday cake!!
– Time with loved ones. It’s what life is all about, in my eyes…
– Lots of synchronicities lately. I see them as confirmation that I’m where I’m supposed to be, which helped a bit in the face of lots of fear and overwhelm this week. It was quite a roller coaster week, with wonderful highs and awful lows.
– Finding nettles.
– My aunt and her honey visiting this week — it was such a nice visit!!
– The weather allowing for lots of outside time.
– Laughter. Thank goodness for laughter, huh!

Such goodness! And yes, there are always “peaks and valleys” isn’t there? And happy birthday to you! I got the lovely oregano seeds, can’t wait to plant them. You should get the anise hyssop seeds soon 🙂
Hi Lindsey,
What flowers are those in the top picture? Really interesting.
Bike rides are so fun. I haven’t been on one since I was a kid, riding around with my sister.
Your radishes are gorgeous. We have problems with nematodes when we grow radishes.
Your birthday sounds awesome and that cake— WOW! So gorgeous! Your mom is gifted!
I agree- time with loved ones is what it’s all about.
Synchronicities are so nice.
Happy Birthday again! 🙂
Lots of Love, Taryn
P.S. I’m going to be e-mailing you soon
Dearest Lindsey, I am so glad you had such a lovely Birthday… WOW that cake!
What beautiful flowers in your photographs, and such amazing radishes!
It is difficult to ride a bike around here as our roads are so narrow, and people drive so fast. I wish it wasn’t that way as bicycles are a lovely way to travel.
I hope that those highs out way the lows, and that this week is a super one, like you.
Much love
I couldn’t decide which of those beautiful pictures to set as my desktop picture–you sure do have a knack for capturing beauty in nature!! H.B.!! <3<3
Hi Taryn!
Thanks so much for your sweet comment 🙂 The white flowers are tulips; aren’t they unusual!
Lots of love to you,
Lindsey
Aja you’re so right about peaks and valleys. Always!!
Glad you received the seeds!
Love
Lindsey

Lots of love to you,
Lindsey
