~ 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!

– Finishing my mittens! That felt great. Doesn’t it feel great to accomplish stuff that’s been lingering around?
– Gettin’ stuff DONE this week! But man, the week went fast…
– My Honey, F, and how much he makes me laugh!
– Meeting him for lunch one day this week — that was so nice and we both loved it! And, it’s often really hard for me to find something to eat at a restaurant that my stomach will tolerate, and a lot of times it’s more torture than fun to be at a restaurant when I want all that stuff but can’t eat it… but this time there was something just right on the menu — a very small cup of delicious beans n’ rice. Yum!
– The comfort of piping hot tea with milk.
– The wonderful little woodcarving set my dad gave me today!! He didn’t know it, but I’ve really been wanting wood carving tools for at least a year now. I would keep thinking “Yeah, I’ll have to manifest that” which is my way of saying “I’d like to do that but don’t wanna devote the time/energy/money/whatever to pursuing it right now” — and look what shows up in my life! To boot, it’s an extra special set because it’s one that his parents bought for him many, many years ago and he only used once or twice. I’m so excited!! And just the other day, I sawed up our Christmas tree on the kitchen floor (why, doesn’t everyone?), stripped the bark, and saved a couple sections of the main trunk for “making something.” And voila, along come the tools to help me with that… love it!
– Living close to my mom and dad so that I can easily spend time with them. I am so, so grateful for this.
– An impromptu walk and visit with my mom one afternoon this week. Sweet.
– All the many, many, MANY things I want to do/figure out/learn about — and gaining more and more energy to actually do them!
– Starting and finishing The Dirty Life by Kristin Kimball this week. I loved it. And I loved reading a book not to gain knowledge, but simply for enjoyment and entertainment.
– Braised leeks, my new obsession.
– Gazpacho with avocado pieces instead of olive oil… my continuing obsession!
– A pay check through the mail… yes those are so nice!
– Beautiful weather today and garden work begun.
– Gardening by moonlight tonight.
