Lets keep this going, no? Love the responses. You all are beautiful!
grace upon grace upon grace (Echoing a lot of you yesterday) / second chances (I don’t deserve them) / work (the joy and stress of being self employed) / a really lazy morning (coffee + long conversations + river walk) / canning party with a dear one tonight (homemade grape jelly anyone?)

good food.
seasons.
It’s been hovering around -30C (-22F) in my part of Alberta. On these days especially I come home and think – I have a warm home! I have a fridge with food! I have the space to read a book and drink tea. I love when these things feel indulgent and are not taken as everyday life. It is actually so rare to have all these things.
Hi! I’m a new follower, i’ll tell you the 5 things i’m grateful for today: 1/ the toasted bread i had for this morning breakfast; 2/ the reading aloud that my love does every afternoon after lunch; 3/ the job interview i’ll have next tuesday; 4/ my new coffee machine; 5/ my progressive flexibility thanks to pilates.
piping hot chi tea/ the smile of my best friend/ good hair days/ giggles/ being wide awake to the understanding that the earth is crammed with heaven.

– my hirer

• a husband I can’t wait to start a family with •
• a home filled with more love than things •

Bekah,
What an overwhelming response of thankfulness! I’m glad you choose to start this series of gratitude…
Here’s what I’m thankful for today:
God’s peace
Soulful hymns
Friendly faces
The sun’s warmth
& a chilled root beer (Henry Weinhard’s preferably ; )
Your river looks like a great spot for exploration. Especially for little ones! Just wondering what river it is? It looks like a lot of litter along the river bed, which is such a shame. Do you and your kids help dispose of it?
Wendy
Yes we do.
yoga class to a thundering rain soundtrack.
americanos.
going on adventures & reading stories & imaginative play as my job.
physical health.
this gratitude revolution you’ve sparked [quite possibly the best thing on the internet because it has me focusing on my life’s wealth, rather than on that joy-stealer, comparison.]
thank you, thank you, lovely.
Today I’m grateful:
-My kitty who joins me every morning in bed to cuddle
-My small balcony garden
-Flamenco
-The possibility of change
-Summertime in South America
Hey Bekah,
Your river posts and these comments have been such a blessing for the start of these last two days. What a great way to re-orient my mind to have’s rather than have not’s. I’m grateful for you! And also, grateful for:
– A hot cup of rooibus that I brought back from CapeTown
– The friends who came over to play Texas Hold ‘Em and drink old fashions with me and Mr. last night.
– A space that feels warm and comfortable to come home to.
– A kitten to cuddle with.
– Your tumblr and website. Really, it’s what I go to every morning with my coffee. 🙂
rocking babies, raspberry jam, florida winters, side plank, clean floors
grateful for
– two arms, two legs, and the ability to use them
– parents who support me in so many ways
– medical school- even though tomorrow’s exam promises to whoop my butt
– the little green way birding trail by my house- always so nice to escape into nature
– best friend’s visa to move to America got approved! No more 30 hour trips to see him or trying to coordinate skype dates on a 7 hour time difference.
thanks for the reminder to be grateful.
Love this. Love you.
Today I am grateful for:
the view of the river from my bedroom window,
Bekah,
discerning that being grateful means more than being happy,
to live in a country where you aren’t physically punished for your lack of religious beliefs,
and
my nine year old who informed me that my dreads make me resemble a gorgon. Thanks, dude.
