Throughout the week I’ve felt grateful for: 

…Our first passionflower in bloom in the garden. It opened on a single day and we all marveled at how beautiful it was. It hasn’t opened since and we’ve been waiting for it to open again.
.
…Salads with our homegrown lettuce, they are the best.
.
…Using my sewing machine again. Most of the time it sits in the corner unused, but every time I give it some use on a little project I wonder why I don’t use it more often.
.
…Clearing clutter, which clears my mind.
.
…A nourishing smoothie to give me a boost when I was having an afternoon energy slump. It refueled me and it was delicious.
.
…Talking things out when you feel heavyhearted and then feeling much, much better. Listening ears from people who care, that is such a gift.
.
…A lizard climbing up the wall in our kitchen! And Jeff telling us that in some parts of the world a lizard in the house is considered a good omen. I’ll take it.
.
…Our friend giving us a box of plums from her tree. I know she woke up very early before work to pick some to share with us and her thoughtfulness made us appreciate them even more.
.
…Bracken’s joy whenever he is helping me in the kitchen. He’s constantly asking me “What else can I do?” and there is always, always something else that needs doing in the kitchen.
.
…Changing up routines and starting new traditions.
