~ 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 tidy home! (Excepting my studio, which is a disaster at the moment…) It feels wonderful to have things be neat and tidy. It’s calming!
– The contrast of beautiful pink and red Valentine decorations against the bleak, gray February sky. Love it!!! (I love the grayness… in this wonderful sun-soaked climate, a gray day now and then is a treat.)
– My sweet F, for quietly taking charge of the laundry when I was feeling really worn out. He always does all the dishes and I do all the laundry (and it works out very well since each of us feels that we’re getting the better end of the deal!). Thank you Honey ♥
– Watching my cat’s eyes absolutely light up when she caught a whiff of cantaloupe as I cut it in half. My mom bought a cantaloupe as a gift for her Grandkitty (!!) and Liz was so excited. It’s been a while since she’s had cantaloupe and she loves it especially when it’s good and sweet, as this one is. She devours it.
– Reading “Heaven on Earth” by Sharifa Oppenheimer. I love this book. I’m grateful, too, for our good library system that was able to get it to me within days of my putting it on hold! I love our library…
– Finding a $20 bill on the ground! F and I were riding our bikes to the store for some groceries when I found it, and since I spent only $8 at the store, I actually returned home from that shopping trip richer than when I left! heehee. What a nice little gift from “beyond.”
– My acupuncture treatments providing unexpected pain relief for my broken hand.

Hello dear lovely Lindsey. I love your list. Glad to hear the acupuncture has helped you.
I do love your shadow photo.
I am grateful for the appointment Rosie had today in the ME/Chronic fatigue syndrome clinic. The person we saw was so funny and lovely to Rosie. She told us that many of her patients have got better due to lightening therapy (it is not available on the NHS so we would have to pay about £850 for the treatment, but anything to help, right!). I don’t know much about it yet, so will be doing some research. But the lady has seen Rosie about 4 times now and told her today what a lovely warm, positive and bright girl she is. She actually said she exudes warmth and loveliness. Rosie left with the biggest smile on her face. I am grateful for smiles!
Much love to you.
Hello Lindsey,
I’ve been meaning to get over here all week.
I agree that tidy spaces are so calming.
That is so cute your cat like cantaloupe!
I just added the Heaven on Earth book to my list, I’m going to request it from our library. When our library gets books for me, I get so happy!
Finding $20 on the ground? Awesome!
I like that picture of your shadow.
Big hug and lots of love!
Taryn
