~ 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!

– Gorgeous, delicious, organic fruit on sale at the store; seems like I just can’t get enough fruit right now.
– My Honey, F. I love him so much!!
– My wonderful parents and my cat. I love them all so much!!
– Getting back to reading more of the Anastasia series, bits and pieces, here and there… feels good.
– A week of no moneymaking work; the break was very nice.
– The long-time family friends who live in Hawaii who so generously offered that F and I house-sit while they travel!! We will be in Hawaii next week at this time, and I still can’t believe it’s real! I am so thankful for this vacation, and can’t wait to just hang out in nature, close to my Honey, and away from the city and all the demands of home and work.
– Getting lots of errands done, and not having to think about them any more.
– Creating a slow, relaxing, heartful day because the pace lately has been really frenzied and stressed. Is it the celestial energies, or just me – I don’t know? Maybe it’s the antibiotics — they can make me feel awfully strange. To boot, I’ve been feeling uneasy and quite ‘off’ at times lately too. Crazy times. Anyway, the slow, grounding pace really helped.
– Being outside a lot lately. When I feel ‘off’ and things weigh so heavily upon my mind, I practically need to live outside. It’s just the way it is for me. I’m thankful the weather has been so nice for doing just that!!
– Reading the book “Still Here” by Ram Dass. I really liked it.
– The nourishing food that’s coming straight from my garden. The growing of it, and the eating of it, are two very life-sustaining, life-enhancing activities! I love my garden.
– Stopping at a lemonade stand yesterday. I remember doing a lemonade stand with my best friend Sonja when we were little, and I remember the excitement of having a customer! And it actually brightened my day so much to interact with the three sweet little kids (maybe 5 or 6 years old) who were running the stand. I very rarely interact directly with kids — I see them in the stores of course, but since I don’t babysit anymore, I don’t have any opportunity to interact with them, really. Kids are so pure; they hold no pretenses. It was a joy to hang out and talk with them even for just a couple minutes.
– Working in the garden all day Sunday, and getting so much done, and my body not even complaining about it at all; I felt so good, so normal. It was a really good day.
