gratitude

Today I am grateful for....

..... the totally gorgeous, totally unexpected bunch of flowers that my love sent me, all the way from India. Of course, the flowers are not from India but the thought was. And they came last week, for Valentine, but every time I look at them, I am happy all over again! 

...... zucchini! Their prolific ways. Their exuberance and lush, blowsy growth. Their versatility. 

...... self sown cosmos. Our garden is full of them. They've popped up in all sorts of places and are putting on a fabulous show, nodding and smiling at me each time I rush by on my way to pick veg or turn off the water. Sometimes I stop to appreciate their cheerful faces and cant help feeling lightened and brightened by their beauty.  

 ....... the awesome amounts of sunshine we've been having. I'm trying desperately to store it all up for those dreary cold winter months. Hot summer days and sweet watermelons are right at the top of my 'needs' list and this summer has been perfect for both! 

I've been regularly reading Gratitude Sunday over on Taryns blog and am always inspired by the many little things she is grateful for. I have a tendency to look at whats wrong, rather than whats right in my days, and would very much like to change that. Hence this gratitude post. 

Pop over to Woolly Moss Roots and have a read of Taryns inspirational thoughts.
