Gratitude Friday

2 Replies

This post is a mashup of The Little Bliss List and Joy Jam, and as such is meant to celebrate: the little things that brought me hope and happiness this week, the sweet stuff of life, those small gifts that brought me joy this week. By sharing them, I not only make public my gratitude, but maybe also help you notice your own good stuff and send some positive energy out into the world.

1. Flowers on my desk. And the message from the universe that said it was more than okay to buy them.

2. Watermelon. It’s the season here, and I am obsessed with that juicy, luscious, sweet flavor.

3. Massage. Whether it’s a paid professional or Eric, this is such a gift for my tense, tired, sore self. It’s one of the times in my life when I am able to fully relax, so much that I’ve been known to fall asleep.

4. Practice. These days my yoga, meditation, and writing practices have been so beneficial, provide such clarity and relief, and I’m so grateful.

5. Rocky Mountain Bee Plants, the bees that love them, the riot of noise and color and activity that lives in our front yard.

Bonus Joy: Dexter hasn’t reverse sneezed for the past seven days. I love that dude so much.

Running. I’ve been doing a bit more because Dexter has been having episodes of reverse sneezing (any one with experience with this, talk to me!) and when he runs, he’s less likely to, and I will do anything for my dogs, even running. I’m so grateful my body can do this, that it allows me to keep trying.

Blogging. I’m still so in love with the whole thing, the crafting and the creating, the writing and the visuals, and especially the connection with readers and other bloggers, (the only thing I don’t love is tagging and categorizing posts). This week especially, I was so grateful to my kind and gentle readers.

Meditating. For the past few years, I’ve struggled with where to put this in my schedule, have tried all kinds of variations to get it to fit, to stay, to stick, but I think I’ve finally got a system that works, a routine, and I’m so grateful.

Sandwiches. Yay Turkey from the Red Table (even better when eaten across the table from Chloe’) and my favorite made at home sammie: Garden Burger, hummus, spinach, and cucumbers (even better when they are from my own garden) on thin multigrain bread.

Farmer’s Market. Our first one back in Fort Collins, and we got all this, plus some amazing fresh tortillas.
