“Practice gratitude whenever you feel overwhelmed…. ” Caroline Myss
Well, now, then. Last week, then. The weekend before last… and the one before that. The summer is tumbling by in a blur of obligations, interventions, and work. Indoors time — I’m not used to so much of it. Structured time — I’m not used to so much of that either. Many changes here.
So, here’s a quick list of things I’m grateful for —
- time to have worked on this piece for just a little while today. and a sense that perhaps it is inching toward resolution.
- a cleaned up house on account of company
- digital images, digital cameras, near-instant gratification of images
- a new journal arriving in the mail for the Sketchbook project
- dinner out, featuring tofu, eggplants and Chinese greens I don’t know the name of
- boys home
- a home
- Dexter
- chocolate
- Catalpa leaves approaching dinner-plate size
- the lake vacation to look forward to
- things growing in my absence
- making a quilt for a wounded child, knowing I am on the other side of most of that
..love the little houses….as always!
I’d have put CHOCOLATE at the top of my list at the minute I think :-0
..but I’ve also got a lot to be grateful for right now too.
I’m glad to read that you’re mostly on the other side of “things”…
..I’ll catch up with a proper e-mail later this week
(not had a lot of computer time lately….)
Take care

thank you Chris… from my quick tour of your blog yesterday, I can see why you haven’t had much computer time — it looks like you’ve been very productive with cloth!
Lovely quilt!
Thanks for the reminder to be grateful and to look for grace.
And chocolate
Fabulous houses Dee and I love the idea of the gratitude list. Yours is lovely. Hope things are working out for you. I’m taking part in the sketchbook project too. Tried to friend you but I couldn’t find you. Here is my link. If you send me a request I’ll reply:
