Grateful for time with d5, her joyful happy demeanor lights up any room she enters. Grateful for my faith and belief in God and the higher powers that be. This grounds me in moments that I feel down or incapable of being more than I have been or am. Grateful for the human social connections I have be they are my family, friends or aquaintances.

not so fast, guys!!! I fell off the wagon, but my gratitude is back and ready to shine!
-I am grateful that my chickens are far more resilient than I gave them credit for. I thought I had lost my entire flick two weeks ago, but I only lost the three birds I never found that night. All the rest, however bad they looked that night, are back to running around and scolding me when I don't give them exactly what they want.
-I am grateful that I have people in my life who genuinely care about me. I used to think that only my WH and parents fit that bill, but now I realize there are many more people who love me, and that makes me feel so supported.
-I am grateful for sadness, because knowing the depths of sadness has helped me to appreciate the small, everyday bits of joy that I experience, like my silly barking gray fox visitor, the way my farm kitty jumps onto my lap to welcome me home when I open my car door, the way the wind turns the leaves on a hot humid day, or the way a duckling dabbling along behind its mother is so disarmingly sweet. Every single day has so many such moments of joy just waiting to be noticed. Sadness has been a great catalyst of appreciation for me.
