Throughout the week I've felt grateful for:
-Learning to identify more wild plants around here, bit by bit.
.
-Trying soap nuts for the first time and loving them! Our clothes came out so clean. They're earth-friendly, affordable and awesome from what I can tell so far.
.
-Watching Bracken's happiness while playing in the garden. Dirt flinging. Smile from ear to ear.
.
-One morning where all three of us slept in a little extra when we all needed it.
.
-Having a dream where I was searching everywhere for a sauna and then getting some exercise the next day and having a good, cleansing sweat. I needed it. It feels good to sweat!
.
-Jeff working wonders on my sore neck one night, massaging it with some of our Magical Relieving Salve. It helped immensely.
.
-Jeff getting some gift certificates for his birthday. We've got some heirloom seeds on the way! Yippee!
.
-Sprouting sunflower seeds and then slowly drying them on a low heat in the oven. We've been snacking on them and ground some up for sunflower seed brownies for Jeff's belated birthday dessert. Yum!
.
-Seeing the cleaning and organizing Jeff did in some of his work spaces. It's amazing what a difference that can make, isn't it?
.
-A surprise letter in the mail from a friend. Handwritten letters are such a treat!
.
-Some treasures from the thrift store. Fun fun!
.
-Warm-hearted comments on here. There are days when things in the world can get you down and a few kind words can lift your spirits immensely.
.
-Gently carrying a sleeping Bracken in my arms, up to bed when he fell asleep on me. His little sleeping face is just too sweet.
.
-A little time quietly needle-felting, so meditative and relaxing.
.
-The way my hands smelled so good after making more Lavender Cedar Smudging Bundles.
.
-Walks with Bracken around the place and him bending over to pick flowers, collecting them as we went along.
.
-That I don't get headaches as often as I used to. They are pretty rare for me now, but there was a time I got them all the time. This week I had a nasty one, no fun at all. It quite knocked me off my feet.
.
-Bracken bringing me his sippy cup when I was laying on the couch and he knew I wasn't feeling well.
.
-Warm sunshine to relax for a moment in.
.
-Time outside.

Lovely list Taryn.
I've seen soap nuts in a local shop and have been wondering about them.
Glad you don't suffer with headaches so much...I always suffer if I get tense at all, or tired, and I avoid lots of foods too!
So grateful to communicate with you here.
Much love
I started this post on tuesday, but it fits this theme so well, i thought i'd link. also, the first pic is for you specifically, and your wild flower pic so matches on that i posted, i just HAD to share!

Soap nuts I've always wanted to try, but Mtn Rose is always out of them when I'm ordering-- but this reminds me to try again to get them!
How wonderful you have such a nice yard and garden for Bracken to grow up in! That's so cool.
I love your dream, haha!
A massage from your honey is always wonderful.
Happy Birthday to Jeff! Gift certificates, YAY!
Sprouted sunnies are so yummy!
Oh gawd, headaches can completely flatten you. I hate them! They just take over, and I'm so glad you don't get them often. Before I got sick they were only a once-in-a-blue-moon thing for me, but while I was really ill they were a very regular thing, like migraines. I now have much more of an idea how awwwful they can be!
How sweet Bracken's gesture of kindness toward you while you weren't feeling well. What a sweetie.
Warm sunshine, yes! Time outside, yes!
So much love to you!!

Oh, your sweet Bracken. What a dear little guy. Those sleeping faces are so beautiful.
I'm glad you hear about your experience with soapnuts. I've been thinking I must track some down to try.
Wishing a you blessed beginning to your week. :)

Lovely list, I'm so glad you post these every week! Posting my own list helps me to remember the good little things ;)
