Things I’m grateful for…

…the flex­i­bil­ity in my work and home to be able to design our days and life around what we want to do not another’s schedule.

…not need­ing to use an alarm clock to wake up…I have kids for that.

…grow­ing chil­dren who are happy, healthy and thriving.

…liv­ing in a place resplen­dent in nature, an accept­ing cul­ture and inter­est­ing people.

…liv­ing within dri­ving dis­tance of des­ti­na­tion places for all the things I love to do…biking, knit­ting, the­ater, and local, whole foods.

I would love to hear what you are grate­ful for today.

Thanksgiving Thursday

Today I am grateful…

* My chil­dren are grow­ing and learn­ing so fast I can hardly keep up. They are at an age where they are mak­ing con­nec­tions between pre­vi­ously unre­lated ideas. Their humor is really com­ing through and they are more and more social.

* Spring is here. Although it is still con­sid­ered mud sea­son in our part of the world, the peren­ni­als are start­ing to make an appear­ance and it is only a mat­ter of time before we put the gar­den in. Bring on the rain, I can take it.

* I am learn­ing so much about set­ting up an effec­tive blog and imple­ment­ing many new ideas. There will be a whole new look in the very near future.

* There are so many new ideas rolling around in my head I hardly know where to start. After sev­eral years of being home alone with infants then tod­dlers, I

Thanksgiving Thursday

What a glo­ri­ous morn­ing. This week I have been delib­er­ate and inten­tional in my work and fam­ily life. It has cre­ated a sense of pur­pose and accom­plish­ment to my days.

Today I am grateful for:

1. Hav­ing the oppor­tu­nity to fol­low my dream of being home rais­ing my chil­dren and watch­ing every moment of their growth and development.

2. Being healthy and strong enough to keep up with my chil­dren. Chas­ing around twins takes seri­ous endurance.

3. Learn­ing every­day how to be true to myself and cre­ate the life I want.

4. Being open to spir­i­tual growth and change that cre­ates love and hap­pi­ness in everyday.

5. Learn­ing to love myself uncon­di­tion­ally and rec­og­niz­ing that every thing I have expe­ri­enced has made me the per­son I am today.

6. Love!

What are you grate­ful for today?

Thanksgiving Thursday

I’m not really sure where the weeks are going right now. I can hardly believe it is Thurs­day again and last week was a total blur. I am always fas­ci­nated by time. It is such a con­crete part of our cul­ture yet time feels sub­jec­tive much of the time. Some­one once told me in regards to life with kids, the days are end­less and the years are fleet­ing. As I go through each day and watch my ever chang­ing chil­dren, I real­ize the true mean­ing of that advice.

Con­sid­er­ing the flight­i­ness of time, today I am grateful for…

…dishes in the sink because it means we were too busy hav­ing fun to clean.

…hear­ing the ABC song 20 times in a row because it means my chil­dren are learning.

…a child sleep­ing in my bed because some­day they will want their own bed to sleep in.

…being exhausted at the end of the

Thanksgiving Thursday

It seems fit­ting to end this day count­ing my bless­ings. It was a spec­tac­u­lar day like you can’t plan, it just all flows together spon­ta­neously. I spent time play­ing with my kids, had an amaz­ing yoga work­out, din­ner with a dear friend, and I lis­tened to my babies snore softly in my ear as they fell asleep. Now I get to end my day con­sid­er­ing what I have to be grate­ful for. What a life!

Today I am grateful for…

1. …flex­i­bil­ity. Being flex­i­ble enough to be faith­ful to myself and mak­ing space for oth­ers to find their pas­sion and ful­fill their dreams. Every­day I strive to bring flex­i­bil­ity to my chil­dren so they can have what they need to grow into con­fi­dent adults.

2. …breath. In each moment focus­ing on the breath gives me another chance to choose who I am. Focused in the moment and able to be authentic

Thanksgiving Thursday

My daugh­ter is the flower.

Grat­i­tude is the end­less oppor­tu­nity to appre­ci­ate what works in your life and allows more won­der­ful things to emerge in your real­ity. Today I am grateful…

1. …my chil­dren are healthy and well. They are grow­ing and devel­op­ing per­fectly in their own time.

2. …I am work­ing from home so I am able to watch my chil­dren grow into the beau­ti­ful beings they are becom­ing. I don’t have to miss a moment of their lives.

3. …for the oppor­tu­ni­ties I find every­day to improve who I am in the world. Thir­teen years ago I began focus­ing on mak­ing my life fit my dreams. Every bump and chal­lenge has led me to cre­at­ing the won­der­ful life I have today.

4. …that I have clean water and healthy food to sus­tain my growth and devel­op­ment. My health sup­ports me in help­ing my chil­dren to grow into con­fi­dent, strong adults.

Thanksgiving Thursday

Dis­claimer: Thanks­giv­ing Thurs­day is a fea­ture on Mama’s Lit­tle Chick. I hope she doesn’t mind me bor­row­ing this idea. It fits what I need to be focus­ing on right now, which is improv­ing my gratitude level.

That said, I am excited to add this fea­ture to my blog. So here are the things I am grate­ful for in my life today.

1. The love in my life. I am for­tu­nate to have lots of peo­ple in my life who love me and would do any­thing to sup­port me…even when I am not being my highest self.

2. My beau­ti­ful chil­dren who remind me every­day to laugh, slow down and enjoy the lit­tle things. Their joy for every­thing makes it easy to find rea­sons to smile.

3. My home. We have a big home to accom­mo­date many guests, room for the chil­dren to move around and change their scenery when the New Eng­land weather keeps
