It turns out that spending a day indoors, wallowing in self-pity, and eating way more refined sugar than usual, doesn't make a girl feel any better.
So today, with warmer temperatures in the forecast, I've decided to list some of the things I'm feeling grateful for these days.
- Yesterday's wintery storm bringing all sorts of birds down in the yard. Aedan and I have loved watching them scratching around for food...
- A beautiful chorus of birdsong this morning...
- The local pool being open, and Aedan really enjoying his first dip of the season...
- P getting up early this morning to start a fire in the woodstove. It was so nice to wake up to a toasty warm house...
- P finally getting to feel the baby move while we lie quiet in bed...
- New glasses on the way...
- Lots of flowers, both annuals and perennials, filling the kitchen and waiting to go into the garden...
- Rosehip syrup in my tea...
- The local food movement: being able to buy fresh eggs year round, the chance to get some pastured meat put by this fall, the farmer's market and the community around it...
- Patience, and the clarity of mind to recognize life's lessons...
- Ideas and inspiration...
- The love of my family.
Hurray for a positive start on a Monday! :)
