Throughout the week I've felt grateful for:
...Bracken asking me to hand him a flower or two so he can sip the nasturtium nectar. He loves that.
.
...September. The start of a new month. My favorite month. (It's my birthday month and I've always loved September.)
.
...Getting all our market things dried out from our rainy market day. Then getting it all packed up again for another market day.
.
...The people who gave me the tip to use rubbing alcohol to get the pen stains out of Bracken's pants (where he drew all over himself when I wasn't looking.) It really worked and I was so happy because those pants were special ones, handmade by a friend, that we traded for.
.
...A chicken baking in the oven, followed by many delicious meals. Chicken on lettuce from the garden. Chicken broth soup with zucchini, carrots, celery seed, turmeric, and parsley. Yum.
.
...A few evenings cool enough to enjoy some soup. We hadn't had soup in awhile.
.
...Being able to trade for things that are hard for us to afford, like butternut squash.
.
...The manager at the grocery store who let me use their phone when I asked if they knew where a pay phone was. (Since our cell phone ran out of minutes.)
.
...Some nights where Bracken picked up his toys in the living room when I asked him, while I worked in the kitchen, so we could get outside sooner for a bit of "outside time." He did a better job picking things up than he ever had before.
.
...Following my intuition instead of ignoring it. The way I think of following it sometimes is like in the Cat Steven's song: 'It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it.'
.
...Watching Bracken's coloring change and noticing him making an effort to color in the lines a bit, for the first time. I always enjoy watches his changes.
.
...Protecting Bracken at market yesterday when my intuition told me to do so even though the whole situation was so uncomfortable I could hardly bear it. It was a learning experience.
