Gratitude Sunday

Today I'm joining Taryn at Wooly Moss Roots for Gratitude Sunday

This week I'm grateful for:

- The beautiful weather that we've had the last couple of days. It was definitely a refresher for the mind, body, & spirit.

.

- Planting lots of onions today (courtesy of my Dad, thanks!). I was so happy to get my hands in the dirt!

.

- Getting gladiolas to plant. My grandmother always had gladiolas lining the walk way to her house. They remind me so much of her. Love them.

.

- Going to the park yesterday and walking in the sunshine.

.

- Having an entire upcoming week without any classes. The stress has been overwhelming at times.

.

- Visiting family. Sometimes it's nice just to slow down and enjoy time together.

.

- Being able to read more for fun! I'm a big reader! I rarely have a lot of time anymore to devote to new books but this week I sat aside time to finish a book and begin another!

.

- Crafting up a storm!  I'm hoping to get everything ready for Etsy in the next week or so. It's so much fun!

There's so much to be grateful for!

This week I'm grateful for:

-  Not only getting through but really handling the difficult week without letting the stresses completely overwhelm me.

.

- Making my first batch of kale chips! They're delicious, & I've made several batches now. 

.

- Also using kale as an ingredient in a veggie soup that I made. Incredibly healthy & quite possibly the best soup that I've ever made.

.

- Finishing up "The Wednesday Sisters". It was such a great read!

.

- Crafting a stuffed owl & getting more ideas of things to make.

.

- The snow, even though I get frustrated with it, it's still beautiful.

.

- Working on revamping my etsy store & adding new, awesome things.

.

- Surviving four tests in my classes this week. To be honest it was really rough, but I did it. 

.

- Deciding that I'm going to use my down time to get a certification to be a yoga instructor in the very near future.

.

- Sleeping with Moya on the couch. A pretty cute & hilarious photo was taken.

.

- Spirulina, an algae dietary supplement for overall health that I've been taking for the last couple of weeks. 

.

- Relaxing this weekend, doing crafts & painting, reading, finishing up laundry, and getting things ready for the coming week.

There's so much to be grateful for!

This week I'm grateful for:

- The amazingly beautiful snowstorm that we saw on Thursday. 

.

- Super glad that the power didn't go out (even though the lights were all flickering). It's nice to have a warm, cozy house when the snow is piling up.

.

- Reading some really interesting new books. I got a couple at the library, and also a few for my Kindle.

.
- Working out (yoga, sit-ups). I wasn't able to get out and walk at the park with Moya or Aiden due to the weather, so it was nice to still be able to feel good and healthy.
.
- Getting new yarn. It's bulky and gorgeous. I can't wait to start working with it!
.
- Signing up for my new classes. I have five. I think that they're going to be interesting.
.
- Painting again. I love acrylics and watercolours.
.
- Eating with my mom during first hour of the snowstorm. We had a lot of laughs.
.
- Being surrounded by love.
