Gratitude


~ for this journey I am on

~ for the lessons on this journey that take me deep inside myself and guide me in discovering what I really want


~ for the beauty that surrounds me

~ for the opportunity to walk slowly in the woods and take notice of that beauty


~ for the power of plant medicine

~ for food, grown with love in our backyard


~ for paths crossing and entwining, bringing together wonderful people

~ for the confidence to be who I am

What are you grateful for today?

    I'm grateful for sunny days, shorts and birkenstocks, line dried washing, home-grown strawberries and peas that don't get as far as the kitchen. Walks in the woods and paddling in streams with family and friends...and as my little girl is off school with a virus, I asked our children what they were grateful for...
    M (age 7) I'm grateful that I'm not really really really ill. And I've got a mummy and daddy who love me.
    Ro (age 4) I am really gladful I haven't got M's bug.
    Have a lovely day. Nx

    Beautiful, Kim!
    I am grateful for having a lovely place to go home to, and for the comforts of the place we are making our home now. I need to be reminded of the latter, sometimes, so thank you. :) xo

    I am grateful for: blue skies, walks with Frodo, apartment hunting over, writing different lists for two impending moves for my kids, simple dinners, quiet evenings, chatting with my sister and my aunt.

    What a beautiful list...
    I'm grateful today for the opportunity to teach my kids. Although it is often hard and sometimes frustrating, to have the chance to share with them my values and my knowledge is a great gift!
    Have a wonderful day!

    I am grateful for friendships near and far. For really delicious homemade bread. The cool weather we are having due to monsoon season and that my girls are playing happily together these days more often than not.

    " ~ for the confidence to be who I am " , that line really struck out at me. I spent so many years apologizing for how I lived my live since others thought it was fun to call me Miss Suzy Homemaker like it was a bad thing. I have never desired to have a career and have always enjoyed being home, raising my family. Finally I 'grew' into my own skin and hold my head high when I tell how I spend my life, I'm confident too.
    Enjoy a beautiful weekend Kim.

      That is beautiful Tracey. I am so happy you have grown into who you are, and are not afraid to share it. We are all different, and walk our own paths, and we should never apologize for that.

      Wishing you the most wonderful weekend my friend. xo

      Thank you Robin. You are right, we do have so much to be grateful for. I love this quote..."Gratitude is the open door to abundance". I have found it to be very true.

    I had to do a double take on that first picture. It looks just like the bridge by my house. Beautifully written, today I am grateful for the internet, to be able to connect with like minded people, and for nap times that allow me to do so ;)

      Thanks you Tiffany. A quote I always hold close is "gratitude is the open door to abundance". I hold it close because it is so very true. Each night when I share my gratitude from the day with my gratitude buddy I am filled with so much joy at how much I have in my life to be grateful for. It is a beautiful practice to express our gratitude, and definitely fills my heat and soul to the brim. xo
