Throughout the week I’ve felt grateful for: 

…Bracken and I stopping to admire the bleeding hearts in bloom.
.
…Nights when I got the kitchen completely cleaned up so I could have a good start the next morning.
.
…Getting to chat and catch up with my sister on the phone when our schedules aligned and we could connect at the same time.
.
…Fresh-squeezed lime juice, cilantro, kimchi, horseradish, basil, pesto… and all the other things that make such delicious additions to our meals.
.
…Rocking on the laundry and getting a load of woolens washed too.
.
…The toner for our printer arriving just in time for me to print labels for the online orders I needed to mail out.
.
…Jeff taking extra time to make us a really delicious dinner when Bracken and I came back from a long day.
.
…Bracken spotting the first ripe salmonberries in the woods.
.
…The fact that none of us were in the kitchen when the light fixture fell from the ceiling. It was freaky, and I had just been in that spot sweeping a few minutes before. It felt like we had some angels watching over us.
.
…Putting some drops of lavender essential oil around our car after I vacuumed it. My mom does that and it was such a great idea, it smelled so good and fresh.
.
…The handmade gifts that Bracken made for his great grandma for her birthday. (And the fact that they arrived on her birthday, since I had mailed them out later than I’d intended.)
.
…Running into some old neighbors, just happening to pop in the same place at the same time.
.
…Bracken’s kitchen inspirations and his idea to add some cut up oranges to our salad. It really made the whole salad.
.
…The surprise of sun and beautiful weather at market yesterday. We hadn’t expected it and I had bundled us all up in wool, so we were glad to shed some layers and enjoy the sunshine.
