I’ve had a quiet, sleepy weekend recovering from an AWESOME ctworkingmoms.com event (Michelle will be telling you all about it very soon!) so this Magical Monday I’m doing a simple gratitude list. Count your blessings with me, won’t you, Dear Sister?
Today I’m grateful for:
* Quiet, sleepy weekends. Often it’s not easy for me to relax into the ebb…but I know it’s necessary and I always emerge recharged and revitalized.
* The ability to watch some movies over the weekend. This really doesn’t happen much but my family seemed to know I needed the down-time.
* Solar lights in my garden! They make me so happy!
* Trying to catch fire-flies with my boys in the yard last night.
* Internet connections and my cyber-sisters who keep me sane on MANY occasions.
* Grilled hamburgers.
* Iced-tea!
* My baby sleeping very well all week in his own bed ~ a truly, truly WONDERFUL thing!
* Groceries in bulk. Though I don’t particularly enjoy shopping in bulk, I DO enjoy the bounty when I get home and it’s all put away.
* Coma-like-sleep. It’s been very welcomed lately.
* Good dark beer brewed by my dearest hubby.
* The flowers starting to bloom in my gardens.
* My natural swim pond should be fully installed this week. YAY!
Start your Monday with a little magic ~ what are YOU grateful for today? I love you! ♥
CT Working Moms 
Oh! I LOVE spending time with you too! And the peonies you gave me are SO BEAUTIFUL right now! I hear ya on the bad moods….I’ll email you. 😉
I have some of the same as Sarah!
-Strawberry seasons! Bought a big thing of local strawberries yesterday and my family has already eaten almost the entire tub!
-Peonies!! They are my favorite flowers and a co-worker of mine brought some in for me last week. I can still smell them today!
-Trying to be patient with my bad moods. I’ve had too many bad moods lately and I’m just trying to go with it instead of resist. It’s hard though!
-Working over the weekend on a special video that I can’t wait to share!
-Getting to spend time with you Kate! That is always, always magical!
Loved this!! I’ll add…
-Pick your own fruit season is coming! Strawberries later this week and I’m so excited I can’t stand it.
-A rainy day tomorrow so I can clean and not feel guilty about letting the boys watch movies and NOT play outside (since we live out there and nothing ever gets done inside)
-My backyard in the woods
-So many awesome local ice cream shops
-My town farmer’s market coming up in three weeks
-Peonies!!!!!!!!
-Bagels and cream cheese. I know they’re horrible for me, but I just can’t give them up a couple of mornings a week. I just can’t!
Oh, I’m a sucker for picking fruit too ~ absolutely LOVE it! I love your whole list! And maybe bagels and cream cheese are your power foods! Cheese and bread are definitely MY power foods! I had a piece of pizza for breakfast…and another for lunch! lol!
bagels and cream cheese are my guilty pleasure too – so delicious, and so worth it in my opinion 🙂
