intentional living, little by little

No.346: 2020 Gratitude // 05

A new series for 2020!  If I record 20 things every week, I’ll have over 1,000 items by December 31.  
That’s a lot to be grateful for.

Sophia’s messy desk that is just so her
a new coffeemaker (no more coffee ground surprises at the bottom of the cup!)
one last bloom on my Christmas cactus
a clean and organized garage
P in a well-loved Spiderman costume
the ease of borrowing library books with my Kindle
getting a glimpse of geese flying in V-formation
learning the guitar along with M
the feeling of a fresh pair of contacts
little drawings and gifts made by the kids in preparation for Mark’s birthday
a well-executed meal plan
a warm fireplace when the evenings get chilly
the ability to grow new things from food scraps
that we caught fraudulent charges on our card right away and were able to successfully dispute/remove them
fresh bread, straight from the oven
how hard Mark works for our family
belly laughs
a sale on Poshmark
how TJ begs for more and more math pages in his book
the inky blue color of the sky at dusk

    These are great. I can't find my wallet and I have to wait until I get home to see if it's there or not 🙁 hopefully everything will turn out fine like it happened with you
