The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

No.388: 2020 Gratitude // 17

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.

five brand new baby birds in the nest
every kind reader who goes through my affiliate links to make their purchases
the food banks that are working so hard for those in need right now
the farmers who keep us fed
holy, courageous priests
watching my oldest teach some of the little kids how to play guitar
when the kids complete their math lessons without complaint
how affectionate P has been with me this week
Lucy’s happy face
how much my string of pearls succulent is growing
my mom
taking walks outside by myself
bialys fresh from the oven
Scrabble games on the same set my grandmother used to use
a night off from cooking dinner
Saint Faustina’s diary
whispy white clouds on a background of bright blue sky
this lesson of living in the present moment
getting to use both sides of my brain with my #100dayproject
birds and flowers and green things growing everywhere
