{Sunday’s heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.}

Throughout the week I’ve felt grateful for: 

…Bracken spotting the very first trilliums blooming in the forest, during our walk. (And how incredible they smelled! Last year was the first time I learned about their scent.)
.
…Drawing new designs for the shop. Doodling is so much fun, I could never call it work.
.
…A bit of decorating around my desk space to bring me joy. Surrounding myself with inspiration and color makes such a difference in how I feel.
.
…Bracken coming over and introducing himself as an artwork maker. I said: “Oh, you’re an artist. Nice to meet you”, to which he replied “No, I’m an artwork maker.” I prefer artwork maker too.
.
…Taking pictures for our Etsy shop outside while Bracken played with his pet snails.
.
…Patching up a hole on Bracken’s stuffed toy, Hootie, and sewing a heart in that spot. Now his wool stuffing won’t come out (and I was so pleased to have actually finished a mending project, since I have a pile of them that hardly ever get touched.)
.
…My weekly grocery store trip. I know some people dread grocery shopping, but it’s something I really love and enjoy. I like to have a little extra time so I don’t have to rush while I’m there.
.
…Waking up to Bracken so sweetly putting his hand on my cheek. I believe it was my favorite way to wake up ever.
.
…Jeff making sweet potatoes to surprise us because he knows how much we like them. (And then remembering and bringing eggs for our friend that day, when I had written myself a note to do so, but had forgotten.)
.
…Having a feeling to call a friend I hadn’t talked to in so long and then having her need some extra love that day, and being so glad I picked up that phone.
.
…Friendships with so much love that you can go a long time without talking and feel like no time has passed at all.
.
…Jeff telling us to smell the lemon blossoms on the front porch. They smell divine. Jeff said “that’s what Hawaii smells like.” (He lived there for awhile when he was a boy.)
