My Happiness/Gratitude List (March 3, 2014)
I am again linking up with
Laurel Regan’s Gratitude List with my own Happiness/Gratitude
List to share what I am grateful for and what made me
happy during the past week:
☺ My
husband taking me out to dinner to celebrate my publication.
☺ Receiving
the DVDs I ordered: the first season of Dr.
Kildare!
☺ The
sight of steam rising in the sunlight from my teacup.
☺ The sweet, earthy smell of a
newly watered plant.
☺ Having written 13 blog posts in
February.
☺ Having breakfast out on a
weekday.
☺ My husband buying me flowers
for no particular reason.
☺ Lectoring at church.
☺ A relaxing Sunday: a matinee of
“Inside Llewyn Davis,” dinner, and watching the Oscars.
☺ Getting another skein of
beautiful yarn so I can start the pattern I found to use it with!
Congratulations on your short story publication. You had great things happening during your week, lovely treats and flowers and I'm glad that wool is a nicer colour in real life!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sally! I think it's important to recognize how much we have in our lives that does make us happy and be grateful. And yes, I wouldn't have bought the yarn in such a neon orange color, lol! Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love your list! I am so grateful for health and energy, given what I see around me--friends suffering and having such a hard time. I am blessed and grateful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are healthy and blessed, Carol, and congratulations on your latest publication! I also feel very lucky when I realize how many other people are struggling. It's good to realize that and be grateful for what we have.
DeleteI love the mix of accomplishments, appreciation of simple joys around you during solitary times, shared times with Tim and surprises like your flowers! A truly lovely mix of week!
ReplyDeleteAmy, your support is one thing I'm always grateful for! I do think we need to understand that little things can be as important--even more so because they're more common--as the big ones in our lives. Thank you always being here for me.
DeleteCongrats on your book! I love your lists and photos... such a joy to be art of this weekly gratitude group. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers - how sweet of him. And congratulations on the publication! Sounds like you had a lovely week. :)
