{Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes.} 

This weekly post on Sunday is truly my favorite post each week, the one I most look forward to writing and sharing. Whether you’re a blogger and want to join in the link-up or you just want to write your own gratitude in a journal just for yourself, I encourage you to do so. 

The act of writing down your daily or weekly gratitudes is something to be grateful for, a wonderful way to reflect back and realize what we truly are blessed with and grateful for in our lives. 

Highlights of what I wrote about being grateful for this past week:

-A week at home with no appointments or plans. After a wonderful but busy two weeks prior, it was nice to stay home and just spend quiet, peaceful days with our little nugget. Playing, taking walks, working on projects, napping, gardening. Sometimes it is nice to be a bit anti-social and have some time to ourselves to relax and recharge.

-Going for a walk every day this week. I’ve been especially enjoying early morning walks before the day heats up and everything seems a bit more quiet and peaceful. It feels so good to start my day this way just having time to think, clear my head and just be. Makes me feel so renewed and centered.

-Getting a TON of fabric cut out to sew up more creations to sell. Between vacationing, taking time to care for myself, and not being able to sew with a busy, teething baby I haven’t been creating as much the last month or two which means less income. Our little nugget has been enjoying playing independently next to me while I cut out fabric so we’ve had some very productive days- FINALLY!

-Listening to my heart and doing what feels right. I’ve learned over the years that if my heart is telling me something, I need to listen. Sometimes that can be really difficult but I’ve learned the hard way that it is much better for my soul if I listen.

-10 gallons of Flathead cherries for FREE!!!! We of course had to go pick them ourselves but it was well worth it so we’ll have cherries to eat throughout the year. I also am extremely grateful for the person who created a cherry pitter.  I just finished pitting 10 gallons of cherries and it was exhausting with the cherry pitter so I cannot imagine doing it without one!

-Living in such a beautiful area where we can drive an hour and be on the shore of beautiful Flathead Lake, surround by mountains, and breathing the clean, fresh air. We also were lucky enough to see a cinnamon bear run across the road on the way home from the lake!

-Being able to figure out some basic computer/graphic technology which is definitely not my forte. It can be extremely frustrating for me when I don’t know how to do something but luckily these days we can “google” anything and find help on the internet to be able to self-learn which for me is very gratifying.
