Gratitude


Right now I am grateful for...

:: time spent outside enjoying the great outdoors

:: a harvest that will see us through the winter

:: random hugs and kisses from my little man

:: cool nights, signaling a shift in seasons

:: little reminders not to take life too seriously

:: quiet moments in my day which allow me to breath and reflect

:: a return to routine after a summer of going with the flow

:: our decision to trust our little man and let him be the leader of his journey

:: a wonderful community of people, online and in person, who make this path we have chosen a little more fun to travel

What are you feeling grateful for today?

  1. Today I am grateful for an amazing homeschooling community as we gather for our annual "Not back to school" picnic. Their support, advice, and encouragement are the best! I am also grateful that we do not have to do a 7am bus call!!! Yikes, that is early.

    Enjoy your gratitude filled day and all those hugs and kisses!

    1. Ah, that sounds just lovely Jennifer. Finding our homeschooling community is proving to be a bit of a challenge, but I know it will fall into place one day.

  2. Yes, to everything on your list! Hope J is feeling better, too.

    Around here it's tomatoes, children, mothers (my own) and so much more. This week's loving list: http://littlecoffeebeans.typepad.com/blog/2012/09/seven-things-.html

  4. What a wonderful list of gratitude! I had a sweet moment with #1 son...he called me "Mommy." I haven't heard that in ages. It was wonderful!

    1. Thanks Melissa. I bet that was just wonderful. Reece has gone from calling me mama, to mommy and now mom. My favourite has been mama and every once in awhile he calls out mama and it warms my heart.

  5. Hot tea in a handmade tea pot. New baby greens in the garden. Warm snuggly knits cut out for Audrey's new pj's. Hugging my babies. Good books. Chilly mornings and warm afternoons.

  6. Lovely list! I'm grateful for a respite in the heat, local organic apples, the craziness of three year olds, the even more craziness of a new walker/explorer, the first park outing in three months, a slow return to simplicity.
