Counting Blessings

 

Today I'm counting my blessings:

- Frodo's groomer who 'gets' him and is so wonderful to him and gives him a great haircut - Frodo snuggles and Holly antics, both pets make me smile - phone chats with my children - living near family especially my sister! - my early morning routine -

-my yarn stash which is massive and yet I can always buy more yarn, go figure - this little blogging community where we uplift each other and support one another, it is one of the best blessings the internet has provided - summer yielding to fall ( I know! it's crazy but the days are shortening and I've been putting a light on in the morning, we are getting closer to fall!) - 

- BIG salads and no cooking days - dark chocolate - green decaf tea - my favorite mugs - a tidy house - my husband - this house - books - knitting - daydreaming - believing in the goodness of others - friendly waves of hello to total strangers on my walks - all the drivers who slow down and yield to me on my walks - the back patio - a quiet neighborhood - good neighbors - meditation sessions - 


What would be your blessings?

  1. It's always a good thing to review what matters. I love that picture of Frodo - he has the sweetest face!

  2. So many blessings! There are many in my life as well. Fletch & Mabel at the top of the list for sure. Some welcome rain last night (could have skipped the power outage though - LOL). So nice to read how much you are enjoying your new surroundings and being close to family.

  3. Frodo is such a handsome fellow! Sherman is absolutely a blessing! As is my knitting... it soothes me!

  5. I love that you take time to count your blessings like this, Karen. Believing in the good of others, quiet times, naps, jars of homemade/canned spaghetti sauce sitting on my shelves from earlier this week, and a hint of fall in the air! I love these rhythms of life!

  7. Hi Karen,
    ...it's been a while since I've been able to comment...I've been able to read your blog...just not comment...what a sweet pup...I remember when my parents had a poodle...he loved to get "groomed" and would prance around the house like he knew he looked good...
    ~Have a lovely day!

  8. Yes, to that beautiful knitting and more yarn! We've been wanting to eat fresh food (from our garden!) or, grill, too hot to cook inside.

  10. What a wonderful list. Air conditioning, fresh tomatoes, all of the summer fruit, my husband, my neighbors, my dear dear family, the yarn stash, knitting, a comfortable home, living in a medium sized community, books, the air I breathe, and on and on.

  13. Fresh tomatoes, early evening sunshine on the porch, sitting down to a dinner my husband cooked, lunch with my mom, a birthday celebration for my sister-in-law, air conditioning ... making and sharing lists like these - they inspire so much joy!
