Gratitude- January 30

Filed under: Gratitude — gardener @ 10:02 am

One more day and we will be knocking on the door of February.  Am I the only one who is having a hard time believing that January is almost over?  Time is definitely flying by thus far in 2013.

Today I’m having a very relaxing day-  one with little contact with the outside world and time to reflect on so many things happening around me.  I’m feeling grateful- for so many things- my cup runneth over.

Is my life perfect?  Far from it-   but it is good and I am grateful.

Bits of Gratitude for January 30, 2013.

  1. Feeling the warmth of sunshine on my shoulders.
  2. Chocolate-Pecan roast coffee from Dee’s Pecans, courtesy of my sweet brother.
  3. The locksmith who got her promptly after being called this morning to get the broken key out of our front door lock.
  4. Marcel- for recognizing that I really needed a day of rest, and offering to get the groceries for me.
  5. Mrs. Kromwijk and the beautiful ‘welcome home’ tulips she gave me.

Gardening from the Inside Out

Filed under: Health/ Fitness,Home — gardener @ 8:02 am

I’ve been thinking of my body and relationships like a garden lately.     I need to nurture and ‘water’ my body with the right foods and vitamins to make sure that it flourishes and stays healthy.     The same with my relationships-  I am invested in my friendships and want to nurture the relationships, water them and continue to see them flourish into beautiful gardens.  I see each friendship and each potential friendship as a beautiful flower-   and I know if I do my part in nurturing that flower- it will grow.    Granted- it’s always a two-sided thing, relationships- but I am responsible for me.

Today the sun is shining and the warmth on my shoulders feels good-   It’s giving my body the Vitamin D that it needs, something that so many of us get too little of- especially in the colder- cloudier winter months.     I’m resting and feeding my soul-   It’s a good thing- and my inner garden is beginning to bloom and it’s a great feeling.
