Ten things of Thankful
Happy Sunday to you all, it’s been a busy week trying to pack a lot in before its back to school. I have a lot to share so buckle up it might be a bumpy ride to my bucket of thankfuls. So here I am linking up with Lizzi’s TTOT and happy to be doing so. ?
1. I’m thankful for sunny days and times spent playing at the river. I love that it’s a short walk from my house and is my kids favourite past time.
2. I’m thankful for walks in the woods and beautiful secluded spots where I can sit and read without a care in the world. Watching my kids play and splash in the sunshine is like music to my soul. ❤️
3. I’m thankful for hiking in the beautiful trails and feeling the power of nature and it’s effects on my psyche.
4. I’m thankful for parks, play dates, and play groups to enjoy making new friends and meeting up with old ones. 
5. I’m thankful for all the paperwork completed for my son to file for funding. This will help to acquire a therapy team for him at preschool. It’s been a long road thus far, but knowing it’s coming to a successful completion makes me happy.
6. I’m thankful for my phone working and being able to complete my blog post for TTOT linkup. I feel something missing when I’m not part of this gratitude gang.
7. I’m thankful for the ability to feel emotions, pain, fear, happiness, and love. Feeling these strongly as I do makes me feel alive.
8. I’m thankful for reconnecting with a friend I love dearly and have missed. It’s a beautiful gift when everything flows just right when you spend time talking about how much you enjoy each other’s company.
9. I’m thankful for the ability to apologize. I never believe I’m above that kindness and necessity. When I’m wrong I’m learning not to be a right fighter, and just express I’m sorry.
10. I’m thankful for sharing my words through submissions, poetry, photography and having them received with gratitude. Just thinking of it brings a smile to my face. ??
Wonderful . You live in an awesome place. Have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much Sarah I agree. Enjoy your week as well. ?
This is a wonderful post of gratitude for the ordinary, yet extraordinary, situations of life. The photos are wonderful, particularly the one of the kids in the river. What book of wisdom contains that advice for making the ordinary come alive?
Thank you so much Val, I found it in my newsfeed and I was captured by the words. I will have to google it to see where this wonderful wisdom comes from. ?
I just found it’s from William Martin’s book The Parents Tao Te Ching Ancient Advice for Modern Parents. ?
It’s wonderful. Thank you for finding out
I agree so mindful and simple in it’s beauty. I’m glad I could find it for you too. It’s going on my TBR list. ??
Gorgeous pictures and wonderful list. ?

Your words and pictures make me smile on this Monday morning!?
Thanks Jeanine!! ?
I’m so glad honey, I love looking through them to see the adventures we’ve had. ❤️
Wonderful thankfuls. I love how you are able to appreciate many things that others take for granted.
Thank you so much that’s a wonderful compliment. ?
That lake is so pretty! Love the big, round rocks. and I especially love the photo of the boys walking ahead of you. I still love taking pictures of my kids as they walk ahead of me. Something so sweet about that.
It’s my favourite picture to take with them walking hand in hand. I’m going to make a photo collage of them at different ages doing that. The river is so pretty and clear our favourite spot to sit and day dream away. The rocks are perfect there with so much erosion with the current. We always come home with a treasure or two. ?
