Today’s happiness (and gratitude, too) is brought to you by actually leaving the house with Peter – his first outing since the surgery! – and visiting our favourite diner for a great breakfast and chats with friends.
It was tiring for him, but he did it! Slowly, slowly, it feels each day as though life is returning to something a little closer to normal… for both of us. Definitely happy-making.

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 own good health and strength and the ability to get things done.
- Unseasonably beautiful weather.
- Having one of my photos chosen for the “Fab Four” by the founder of the FMS Photo A Day Challenge herself. What a thrill – something I never dreamed would happen!
- Fresh food in the fridge, a full pantry, and clean filtered water to drink.
- Our two beautiful cats – who turned two this week! – and their fun and loving relationship with each other and us.
- Kind and thoughtful gifts.
- Coupons for 50% off.
- The rich friendships in our lives.
- Our comfortable, cozy home.

Very happy to see Peter out and about. Talk about being on a fast track to recovery!

That’s a REALLY great list Laurel! I especially love #1 re. health as I am so aware of that these days…and good to hear that Peter is up and about. Also, congrats on the photo: I take it it is the heart-shape: love it as I spontaneously have collected heart-shaped items and see them everywhere! – http://xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2012/02/communications-from-my-dead-twin.html 😉 <3
