Kitchen / Garden / Sanctuary - Urban Homesteading to Nourish Body + Spirit

Gratitude Sunday * May 20, 2012

~ 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!

– For my really wonderful mom, and all of her support and love for me.

– The sweet day with my mom and dad last weekend on Mother’s Day.

– The flowers that are blooming everywhere you turn! Our weather this year is so unusual; we seem to be 3 or 4 weeks ahead of schedule with everything… it’s really something. I’m thankful for it, and glad we didn’t get our usual late frost/blizzard which kills all the fruit blossoms! I think we’re gonna have a great fruit year.

– Sliced zucchini and onions lightly cooked in marinara sauce, for a quick breakfast before a morning meeting. So GOOD!

– Eating the last of the garden beets from last year, which had been in the bottom of the fridge since October. They still tasted so amazingly delicious.

– The person who ran after me to give me my mitten when I’d unknowingly dropped it. I really appreciated that.

– Working in the garden all day one day this week. There was so much work I couldn’t believe it, but it was really good for my spirit to be outside all day like that, working hard on something that gives me so much satisfaction.

– Going bar hopping with some friends on Friday night; that’s such an unusual thing for F and me to do — but we both had so much fun!!

– My honey F… his love and companionship… how much he makes me laugh… I’m so lucky!!

– The produce we’re already harvesting from the garden! That glorious lettuce!

– Hanging out in my parents’ beautiful yard. Connection to nature in a private space like that is so essential for my happiness and overall wellbeing. I’m so thankful that their place is just a bike ride away.

– Riding my bike on gorgeous summery evenings through beautiful neighborhoods, with the long shadows and warm glow of the setting sun. A simple pleasure.

– Waking up to rain.

    Wow, what a bounty – of both veggies and blessings! :)I love hearing about your breakfasts, I feel like they are always really unique in that they are not typical breakfast-ey things and I always think, yum, that DOES sound good 🙂

    Hi Lindsey!
    Love your list filled with so many wonderful things.

    Your pictures are beautiful. I love seeing all the fresh things you’re harvesting out of your garden already.

    That is so sweet that person chased after you to return your mitten.

    I love how long root crops last.

    Love, Taryn
