Gratitude for a Monday.
Today, I am grateful for quiet repose in these very busy times. Even if the repose is stopping for 5 seconds to take a picture of something that catches your eye.
I am grateful for all the ways my life interlocks together. gold boots, screens, blossoms, & my feet. somehow it all works together to make life more interesting.
I am grateful for black & white images. You don't need to see the overlaying tones of green to know that they are there, mixed underneath the shades of grey. These images I took are not perfect, but I love the way the light dances between all the dark.
I am grateful for my love of art. I am grateful when my the boys come to me with arms filled with paper, pens and brushes, asking for a space at the table, ready to create. Ready to just lose themselves in a little project. I love watching the process unfold, on making a dull space more vibrant. I am grateful for art projects completed, for displaying things hand-made proudly on our walls.
I am always grateful for moments when I see light at the end of the tunnel and can distinguish the forest for the trees. thats a hard one, but I am always grateful for it when it comes.
What are you grateful for in your life this week?

DeleteWhat a beautiful post, Rebecca! This week, I am grateful for the first rays of sunshine that are the promise of Spring. I'm grateful that the dark, cold mornings are finally a thing of past. I am grateful for amazing movies: Midnight in Paris is on top of my list right now. And I'm grateful for being able to dream, and plot the ways to turn my dreams into reality...And I'm grateful for finding your blog which has given me the inspiration to think of all the things I'm grateful for :)

ReplyDeleteI took a day off today and went to a walking trail nearby. I felt utterly grateful for the time I had today enjoying nature and waking together with a person I love. Reading this post reminded me of a thousand more things I am grateful for. Thanks for sharing your beautiful thoughts.
