Gratitude Friday

2 Replies

1. Eric laughing.

2. Guest posting. I just did one for Rachel Cole, The Way of the Bodhisattva, and there was another request in my inbox this morning from one of my favorite bloggers. Now, if I could only figure out exactly how to make a living off this writing thing.

3. How well Sam did at the vet. They were really pushing him past his limit, but he handled it.

4. The Red Table is moving, they signed a lease on a new space so are not disappearing! The only obstacle is they need funds to make the move. If you feel like pitching in a few bucks to save my favorite place to eat, hang out, you can do that through their Community Funded project. It’d be just like taking me to lunch.

5. That even though the package I sent my brother turned up trashed, (seriously — one whole side was split open, as if they’d dropped it off the back of a truck or off the side of a building), everything seems to have made it, nothing fell out.

Bonus Joy: The pictures like this that Eric texts to me when he and Sam are hiking.

1. Christmas cards. I’m not so good about sending them, but I sure like getting them.

2. Pine Ridge Holiday Project. I am only now remembering that I forgot to blog about this so you could take part too, if you wanted to — although, my guess is that if you email Julie, she might have some last minute people she needs to get gifts for that she’d love you to help with. I was able to get the same kids for the third year in a row, and this year I got their Grandma too. I love having enough that I can share.

3. Clearing stuff out, being able to let go — which is good, because there’s a lot that needs to go.

4. Warmer temperatures. Especially because that means I get to go on the walk in the morning (it’s a whopping 16 degrees today!). When it’s below 10, Eric takes Sam so they can run and stay warmer, which means I haven’t gone on the morning walk all week.

5. Intuitive Eating group. We had our last call this week, but there’s a longing to continue working together, supporting each other, and I am so grateful for that, for those women.

Bonus Joy: Sam, how he barks at stuff when I’m the only one home, and how when I come out to see what it is, if I say “shhh,” he stops barking. We are two different species who don’t speak the same language so the fact that we can communicate so effectively seems like some kind of magic.
