It’s been a challenging few days but there have been moments of joy.  I’m thankful for:

• My youngest making waffles for breakfast and having a chance to eat with him before I got ready for work.
• The smell of my studio when I’m working on various paintings.
• Playing fetch with my dog, Vision.
• Feeling better after making time for yoga & meditation.

I’m still working on trying to notice more little things.  It’s easy to slip back into a mindless routine, truly a rut, and go throughout my day without being present.

This week I’m thankful for:

• Laid back birthday celebrations
• It was easy to get Vision ready for his vet check-up
• Time off from work
• Feeling creative again

It’s a short list this week but now that I’m working on mindfully to find the blessings in my life I’m sure the list will grow.

Be safe, wash your hands and wear your mask.
