Lately I’ve been feeling grateful for…
…My family. Always my family. They are my everything. And everything I do is for them.
.
…Flowers blooming, the sound of birds singing, and seeds sprouting up. There is so much hope in spring. (The daffodils already came and went here. Don’t you just love seeing their cheerful yellow after a long winter?)
.
…Getting to meet my new nephew (a few states away) on zoom. He is simply precious.
.
…The satisfaction of long days working hard accomplishing tasks. Some days Jeff and I have barely been able to lift our arms by the end, yet feel so good as we look around with big smiles on our faces at all we’ve accomplished.
.
…Overhearing our son singing to himself. That sound fills my heart more than I could say.
.
…Kindred spirits, and friendships that last the test of time. A true gift.
.
…Making it over here to my blog more often lately, which is something that feeds my spirit.
.
…How much lighter my heart feels, despite worries and concerns, when I simply quiet down for a few moments, breathe deeply, and reflect on what I’m feeling grateful for.

What are you feeling grateful for right now?
Taryn, thanks for sharing your list.
Many things in my gratitude list are obvious (family, friends, nature, health…) yet at the same time they are not because we (I) forget to be grateful for them.
I love what you write about hard work, it resonates with me although my job is not at all physical and I don’t have a garden. I have been fighting laziness for some time and whenever I exploit well my time and work well it feels so good! Really something to be grateful for.
I am grateful for my faith, books that can teach me things or entertain me, music… and for your blog!
