Gratitude


~ for sunshine and blue skies

~ for making the time to stop and take it all in


~ for little things falling into place

~ for learning more about myself each and every day


~  for knowing my limits and learning to say no

~ for time alone, which renews my spirit


~ for long walks in nature, just the three of us

~ for days spent side by side with Reece, helping to guide him along his path

What are you grateful for today?

  2. Beautiful list Kim.
    Today I am grateful for time, the time to slowly move from one task to the next without hurry, the time to just sit and watch the sunrise over the marsh, the time to just enjoy being on this planet, it's a good day.

  3. Even though it's proven to be a long winter I am loving the big flakes outside our window. Winter really can be beautiful! That being said, I love finding the little treasures that show us spring is on the way!

    1. It definitely can be, although at this point, you can keep the snow :)

  4. Beautiful... it's nice to see so many of your gratitudes being about "being good to yourself". What I'm most grateful for today is a South-Western wind... Melt snow, MELT! :-)

    1. Thank you. Being good to ourselves is so important...it is all part of my (and our) goal of slow living, it allows us the time and space to look after ourselves and our passions. And yes, we are grateful for melting snow too :)

  5. Sweet. I am thankful for my state of mind this morning. That I know my thoughts I think about myself are my choice - meaning I can have a good outlook or a crappy one, up to me. And remembering that gratefulness is a choice, too. A good choice at that!

    1. So funny you should mention this, lately my mantra to myself is "I have a choice". And it is so amazing how wonderful it is to remind myself of this over and over again throughout the day. It has definitely made huge changes in some parts of my life.

    1. Oh that is good, so satisfying to make a living doing the things we love. I have a mentor who once told me to figure out what I love to do and then figure out how to make money doing it. And you know, I have held many different jobs over the years and they all stem from things I love to do. Enjoy Meryl.

  8. I think that learning to say no when you've reached your limit is so important! :)

    1. Totally agree with you on that one KC. How nice to have your mom in town, I can just imagine how much more you get done with the extra set of hands to keep your girls occupied :) Enjoy!
