Quote of the day: Gratitude helps you to grow and expand; gratitude brings joy and laughter into your life and into the lives of all those around you. — Eileen Caddy
Gratitude Cards
It’s Friday so it must be bliss list day. Here is my list for this week:
- I created a set of gratitude cards (45 in all) with tiny photos and words that express what I’m grateful for. They replace my hand-written gratitude cards in my gratitude bowl. I had such fun creating these that I’m going to make them available for download from my website soon. Leave a comment if you would like me to send them to you so that you can practice gratitude every day like I do with a gratitude bowl or basket. My favorite card is “Gratitude for chocolate” because I used a small portion of my grandson’s mouth covered with chocolate. It makes me smile every time I see it.

- This morning I noticed the pattern of the glass by my front door and the view of the street outside through the glass and it was beautiful. Sometimes small things create much joy.

- We went out the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on Easter Sunday and afterwards I created a collage with some of the photos from the day. So much fun!

- Lilacs in our yard are getting ready to bloom. I love the scent of lilacs!
Lilac buds
- The whole backyard is greening up and so gorgeous! I love this time of year.

May you also find much to be grateful for today!

Your collage is fantastic! I also love how you noticed the pattern in the glass sometimes it is the little things that can brighten your day.

I love the idea of gratitude cards. Sometimes me just need a little nudge to remember! Everyone is consumed with Spring, but we still have snow..and lots of it! Julie

Oh, I’m so glad we don’t still have snow. That must be hard this time of year.
