{gratitude lately}

Lately I’ve been grateful…

for painting classes,

family birthday celebrations,

for espresso & new countertops.

And for signs of spring!

{Gratitude Lately}

Lately I’ve been grateful for…

Plant nurseries full of May flowers.

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 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.

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.
