Gratitude Sunday-Manifesting Abundance

Joining Taryn today at Wooly Moss Roots blog for Gratitude Sunday. A time to look back at the week that was and reflect with gratitude.

Feeling grateful this week for:
::a sense of abundance in my life. I've been really focussing on paying attention to all we have instead of what we don't have. When I focus on lack of money or time or what's missing in the fridge I feel poor but when I consciously notice and thank God for what we have I feel pretty content. It's like the more I notice it, the more of it comes our way.
::wool. Not in my knitting this time but in my clothing. It's been a cold week and I am thankful for all the long underwear and fleeces I own that make life bearable here.
::the effort my daughter is putting into getting along with her brother. I know it's hard for her to let things go and I appreciate her trying. It brings much needed peace into this house.
::report cards from both kids showing improvement in many areas. I am so proud of them both for overcoming many of their challenges to shine academically and be productive members of their classes.
::Tasty Chicken from Fix It and Forget Cookbook for Entertaining. That was last night's dinner and was it ever good!
::progress on the scarf I'm knitting. I love knitting with variegated yarn and how the knitting seems to go that much faster when the colour is changing every 4 rows. I must have a short attention span.
::March 1st and the hope that brings with spring coming. I always feel in March that I can begin to hope, that the end of winter is in sight and I am going to make it after all (cue Mary Tyler Moore theme music...)
::church this morning-the rhythm of the service, hymns that were a joy to sing and snippets of sentences that spoke to my soul.
::the joy in my daughter's face and heart when she asked for a Betta fish and instead of saying "Let's think about it" or "We can't afford it right now" I said yes. We'd been wanting to get her a pet for awhile and had some money put away for the purchase. Abundance again.
::looking forward to speaking to Kathy Stowell of Bliss Beyond Naptime fame about some next steps for turning my dreams of working from home into reality.
