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!
- My husband, who coordinated and cooked a delicious Easter lamb dinner for me and three friends. It was a great day of fabulous food and a ton of laughs, and I’m so grateful that he thought it up and followed through, as left to my own devices I would probably have gone to a restaurant instead!
- Receiving the refund cheque for my recalled FitBit (original Christmas/birthday gift from Peter) just in time to pay for my replacement Christmas/birthday gift.
- Our good friend who adores our three cats (who adore her right back!).
- The day I stumbled across tangling and discovered that I can make art.
- Sleep! Especially a really good night’s sleep uninterrupted by early morning roadwork.
- Out-of-the-blue compliments from unexpected sources.
- Receiving a gorgeous and fragrant DavidsTea gift box for Administrative Professionals’ Day from my lovely co-workers.
- Happiness, peace, and quiet for a good friend who just moved into her new house.
- The Blogging from A to Z Challenge, which has been an inspiration and opened my mind to a world of possibilities.
- Finding out, after finally getting around to filing my income tax return, that I’ll be getting a decent refund. This will go a long way towards helping me pay for my trip to San Jose for BlogHer ’14!
- Spring buds on the trees.
- The kind and generous friends who are supporting me (and my tangle art) in my dream of becoming a CZT and teaching others how to draw out the artist within.
- Anticipating the delivery (this week!) of my replacement Christmas/birthday gift from Peter – a full-length mirror jewellery cabinet. It’s something I’ve wanted for ages, and it was a fantastic deal, and I am so excited to finally be getting it!

This is quite a list Laura 🙂 And a husband who cooks you should probably go thanking God each day I say! 😀
