~ I’m once again joining Taryn over at Wooly Moss Roots in her Gratitude Sunday tradition. ~
Gratitude Sunday is a time to slow down and remember those thankful moments that graced our week. One reason I love keeping a daily gratitude journal is because it helps keep things in perspective for me. Each Sunday, I open my journal and share some of those moments with you here. If you’d like to join in, just leave a comment!
Gratitude is powerful energy. I love hearing others’ gratitudes!

– Cool, fresh night air after a rain storm.
– Crickets close to the open window.
– A bath.
– Finding freshly fallen apricots on the sidewalk to satisfy my hunger during an outing.
– Slow mornings when I need them. Sometimes it takes a while to get my energy going. It’s so nice not to have to force it in order to show up at a job.
– Stumbling upon a fascinating documentary on PBS called “Summer Pasture” about a young, nomadic Tibetan family with an infant daughter. We were riveted.
– A nice week. Fairly chaotic with all the packing and details associated with moving, but still a nice week.
– Making good headway in packing up everything and cleaning this place. I’m especially thankful for the coincidental discovery of a bunch of good moving boxes and packing material in a nearby alley, and my mom for transporting it to our apartment. Thank you Mom! They have been invaluable.
– My garden and how it’s doing so well…
– Those incredible garden tomatoes! Sliced garden tomato, organic avocado, sea salt. OMG!
– Seeing, again, a family friend from New Zealand who my mom has known for 40 years. It was so nice to see him again, even for just a short time.
– Birds singing. It was eerily quiet this morning when I awoke, and I realized how much I cherish the constant background of birdsong, even if I’m not always consciously aware of it.
– My family’s great appreciation of my garden produce. It warms my heart that they all love it so much.
What about you? What has been on your gratitude list this week?

Hi Lindsey!!
Enjoying your list this week.
I love the sound of crickets. I don’t hear them here.
Fresh apricots! What a wonderful find!
Moving excites me. 🙂 So happy for you.
Wonderful to be enjoying your garden abundance and have others enjoy it too.
Lots of Love!
Taryn
P.S. Love your pictures- the heart tomato, the succulents and the bright yellow flowers!
Hi Linsey, I was curios about the PBS special? When I looked further, it appears there has been an update. Wasn’t sure if you knew.
