Holiday Hum and Gratitude

Filed under: Gratitude,Holidays — gardener @ 12:03 pm

Life has been humming along at a good pace, and just as the holiday season starts approaching- I think I’ll have a few weeks to unwind a bit before life starts taking off again.   I’m excited though, because holidays mean time to share gifts with others-  practice acts of kindness and other awesome things.

This was my gratitude list for today-   as shared with my friends on Facebook.

 

Tuesday’s bits of gratitude.

1- Those who show up where they are- who are fully present and authentic. It says not only – I am ‘here’ and not distracted, big also I ‘want’ to be here.

2- Pulling out my plaid mug- which means the holiday season is upon us, and also makes me smile, because I adore plaid. Always have, probably always will. The gift that keeps giving.

3- Plotting acts of love and kindness for the holiday season. (I challenge you to do the same. Little things to us can be big things to others.)

4- Finishing my sugar work for this upcoming weekends cake and being satisfied with the results.

5- The beautiful threads of friendship and the tapestry of joy it adds to my life.

Gratitude in Motion

Filed under: Gratitude,Life — gardener @ 7:12 am

I can’t believe it’s November and in less than two months we will be welcoming 2016. Granted, I’m not one to wish away my days- so there is much to happen between now and then- such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and time with people I love.

I’m excited about all the potential that each month brings. I was sad to say goodbye to my parents at the end of October, but I’m grateful they made it home safe and are now settling back into their life. I’ve hit the ground running with work, and feel energized as I continue to grow and expand.

It seems fitting that I would begin to share my gratitude lists again on this month of Thanks-Giving. I’m grateful every day, but I want to make a shift of my focus and start doing them again, rather than thinking about them.

Today I’m grateful for:

  • A business that continues to grow and thrive.
  • Healthy parents whom I love dearly.
  • The understanding that some endings are beginnings for great new chapters.
  • Sunshine after the fog.
  • A great night of rest.

What are you grateful for today?
