Gratituesday: New Beginnings

Aren't we lucky to witness, over and over again,

the renewals of spring? 

The new beginnings that take place right in the trees

in our backyards, filled with unwavering trust. 

So grateful for those. And for sweet baby birds.

Gratituesday: Simple Adventures

Aren't we lucky to have a gazillion activities in life that feel like adventures? 

I'm so grateful for the big ones—exploring new cities, climbing mountains, flying in helicopters.

But oh how I love the small ones, too. Like the first time I ate a raw oyster.

Adventure at its finest.

Gratituesday: Orchids

Aren't we lucky to have orchids? 

Nothing brightens up a desk quite like them. 

I love how they look like little ladies walking up and down branches. 

Or maybe flocks of butterflies. 

So grateful for these flowers.

Gratituesday: Fancy Desserts

Aren't we lucky that people keep inventing decadent desserts?

The kind you just want to hold in your mouth a few minutes too long

because they taste too amazingly delicious to swallow. 

If only spinach and broccoli had the same effect on our palates...

So grateful for fancy desserts.

Gratituesday: Hummingbirds

Aren't we lucky to share the world with hummingbirds?

The little helicopters of the bird world are so fun to watch,

as they zoom through our yards in search of their next sugar hit.

They're the only bird who can fly backwards, you know. 

Masters of adaptability. 

I wouldn't mind coming back as one in my next life.

Gratituesday: The Wisdom of Tea Tags

Aren't we lucky to have wise little tags on our tea bags?

Teaching us proverbs and lessons while we sip. 

I'm pretty darn grateful for them.

Gratituesday: Rainbows

Aren't we lucky to have rainbows?

We never know when they'll pop up. 

They're like little surprise parties in the sky. 

So grateful for them.

Gratituesday: Fresh Guacamole

Aren't we lucky to have guacamole?

And better yet—fresh guac made on the spot!?

So delicious. And good for your heart.

It's a win win. 

So grateful for it.

Gratituesday: Tidepools

Aren't we lucky to have tidepools? 

Little microcosms of the ocean 

that we can explore

without even getting wet. 

So grateful for them.
