Happy Autumn! No, September isn’t over quite yet (so yes, this post is a tad premature!), but since October happens to be when we Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving I thought it would be appropriate to get a jump start on a fresh month of gratitude by opening the new linkup a little early.
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!
- Free tickets from a friend for Peter and I to attend a fun evening of comedy.
- Living in a walkable neighbourhood with lots to see and do.
- An evening at a musical with a group of girlfriends followed by a long chat together afterward.
- Peter finding a couple of hard-working local independent contractors who, for a very reasonable price, spent an afternoon making our yard look lovely again.
- Being presented with the unexpected opportunity to increase my hours (and thereby earn more money!) at my current job, while still keeping my much-prized Mondays off.
- The cable technician who upgraded our modem/router and helped us re-feed and hide our many wires and connectors. No more trip hazards in the hallway!
- The absolutely gorgeous fall weather we’ve been experiencing.
Now it’s your turn!

10 days after the death of a close friend from cancer, I am grateful for my health and the health of my husband, and that I was able to see her three days before she died. I am grateful that my mother in law, in her upper 80’s, still has her mental facilities. And I am grateful for the lovely day we had today.

Lovely gratitude list – As always, may I add.
This week, I’m thankful for:
My friends and family for having stood by me and my choices, however strange and offbeat they may have seemed at times
My blog readers
My three year old son who takes every opportunity to make sure I am on my feet
And my wife, who just completes me 🙂

Your point about the walkable neighbourhood struck me, Laurel. It’s something I often take for granted about our present home. Thanks for reminding me.
Hope you have a great week ahead.
