Lately I’ve been grateful for…
Plant nurseries full of May flowers.
Lately I’ve been grateful for…
Unplanned Saturday adventures!
Colorful asymmetrical Spring planters.
Opportunities to meet nature up close, and see my brother in his element.
A husband who works hard, studies hard, and plays hard.
For being in the right place at the right time, and for successful dislocated shoulder reductions.
And spicy hot chocolate!
Lately I’ve been grateful for walls to climb.
For summertime memories.
For fresh grown basil and the scent of spicy oregano.
And for this baby cat, who throws a veritable tantrum of happiness whenever I come home from barre class all tired & sweaty.
Lately I’ve been grateful for back-to-back pottery classes in this space.
For early morning espresso crafted by my favorite barista.
And that he never asks me hard questions until 20mins after my first sip.
For travel memories of distant places.
And for brave hearts that are learning to live adventurously.

Lately I’ve been grateful for songs on this banjo.
For a few more chilly days to wear my warm coat before winter is over.
For pottery class and the clean, earthy messiness of wet clay on my hands.
For tiny letters.
And for kind-hearted strangers willing to let a child hold their new puppy for a while, just because they see her eyes fill with delight.
