Time to take a short breather from my Tangling from A to Z project (which I’ve been greatly enjoying, and I hope you have as well!) to stop and focus on gratitude. In my part of the world the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the temperature is definitely in a Spring-like zone… gratitude certainly comes easily on a day like this!
Hope you’ll join me in this week’s Gratitude Linkup!
(If you’d like a bit of background on why I started the Gratitude Linkup, check out this post.)

My Gratitude List
In no particular order, here is my own gratitude list for this moment in time. I hope that after reading it you’ll go on to write and share your own!
- That our street was one of the ones selected by the City for much-needed, major infrastructure improvements this Spring. Yes, it means a lot of dust, noise, and disruption for the next few months, but the end result will be a beautiful, smooth, pothole-free road.
- Being able to help our team win at pub trivia – for the second time!
- Sleeping well – and sleeping in – on weekend mornings when there’s no roadwork and the neighbourhood is quiet.
- An ever-expanding circle of friends.
- Having access to the supplies and time I need to make art.
- Temperatures in the double digits (Celsius).
- Accommodating friends who listen to my rambling.
- Going for a walk and realizing that it was warm enough to leave my coat in the car.
- Good physical health.
- Anticipating plenty of fun and interesting things happening in the near future.
- My husband, who will be celebrating another birthday tomorrow.
- Afternoon naps.
- Our city’s beautiful riverfront.

It will be so nice to have roads void of pot holes. We had our common driveway paved last year and it was so nice once it was done. Tell your husband Happy Birthday! Mine is next Saturday.
I have been behind this week but have followed your Tangled A to Z project this week and love it. I cannot wait for the next week’s postings

Thank you!
Good idea. Reminding myself to be grateful opens the door to feeling for others as well as myself. Thank you. I will add my list also.

I, too am grateful for warmer temperatures! Especially when all of the grandkids are over and they can take their noise and activity outside!
Ahhhh!
