I am grateful for:
Trying new things...little mini-adventures...like these green smoothies:
A small forsythia branch in a glass jam jar
{Jenna brought it in for me :) }
Huge buckets of silly laughter over some mud-filled boots
Poetry, and girls who love to share it
 |
| Jenna's spontaneously written poem on our whiteboard... she's also been reading us lots of poetry lately! |
Another local mom joining the homeschooling ranks!
Feeling useful/valued
A great dentist visit for the girls...just a routine cleaning and check-up...the countdown to braces is on, though!
The ability to create, in all sorts of ways (photography, blogging/writing, cooking/baking, crafting)
My cooking-and-baking-loving girls!

| baking cookies together |

| Jenna helped to make stuffed shells one night |
Time to read, and good stories to read
Another family nature walk, at a local nature preserve that I've been wanting to visit
(another item on my Everyday Dreams list!)
This girl who loves to take nature photos :)
Egg decorating fun!
These two fantastic ladies, and our lives of learning all together as a family <3
For what things are you most grateful this week?
From my first Remembering Gratitude post:
For many years, starting back when I was in grad school through when the girls were small, I kept a gratitude journal. I loved the practice of remembering to be grateful for the little things and taking note of it all. It was an important process for me, and it helped to change my overall perspective of the world from a negative one to a much more positive view. I have gotten out of the habit of writing regularly in a physical journal, although it does still exist on my bedside stand. I have decided that I want to try keeping a gratitude journal on a weekly basis on our blog. I firmly believe that remembering to keep an attitude of gratitude is vitally important to happiness!
