Throughout the week I’ve felt grateful for:
…The different colors of the columbines blooming in the garden and how excited Bracken was when he first showed them to me.
.
…How good sleep feels after a really long day.
.
…Sardine salad and vegetables made for me by my loves. (And he cut the zucchini with a butter knife “all by myself, mom!”)
.
…Finding the needles I needed to start a new knitting project. Thanks to those knitting needles my grandma gifted me years ago!
.
…Kitchen time. Yams sliced and baked. Eggs washed, hardboiled eggs made. Broth strained, soup made. Popsicles made. Hazelnuts soaked and then dried. Coconut oil treats made. Our kitchen is a busy place and I like it that way.
.
…How helpful it is when Bracken does different tasks around here.
.
…That I was able to get most of Bracken’s haircut completed before the clippers died. The rest I finished up with the scissors and it turned out just fine, phew. (Note to self: make sure clippers are fully charged before beginning haircut.)
.
…Our beloved Rainbow Bridge starting again and seeing friends we hadn’t seen in awhile. That first day back felt like a reunion party of sorts.
.
…Discovering a new fabric store and finding wool felt there for a project I was working on, which saved me a trip across town.
.
…Cleaning up Bracken’s toy area. It had gotten quite crazy and I think we all breathed a sigh of relief when I got it back in order.
.
…Vacuuming out our car. Brings me such a sense of peace, even when it doesn’t need it that bad.
.
…The new cart at the grocery store with wheels for driving that was quite a hit with little mister.
.
…All the new things Jeff is constantly coming up with and making in his shop.
.
…More vegetables planted and some garden time.
.
…Writing in the first page of a brand new journal. I always love that feeling. I use simple composition notebooks for my gratitude journal and they last so long that by the time I’m ready for a new one it feels like a real treat.
.
…A fun, full day at the May Faire yesterday.

Great list of gratitudes. It is always nice when the kids toys are freshly cleaned up.
