Gratitute Sunday

Sunday's heartfelt tradition. A time to slow down, to reflect, to be grateful. A list of gratitudes:

{Inspired by the beautiful Taryn of Wooly Moss Roots}

Our local holiday market - sometimes I take for granted what a wonderful, talented community we live in. It feels so wonderful to buy gifts from local merchants rather than large-scale corporations.
Family visiting. With my mother a good 2000+ miles away, it's nice to have the in-laws here celebrating such a joyous occasion.
My husband. As I type this he is out taking care of our home and our property. A dead tree came down on a power line last week - and of course the electric company didn't care, so b to the rescue it was!
Speaking of holiday market, seeing a wonderful friend and fellow blogger, Taryn, at her booth last week. We have been trying to meet up at market for months and finally she and her family could meet this sweet soul in my belly!
My daily hypnobabies scripts and positive affirmations. It's a wonderful tool and I find that any fear of birthing is now out the window - I'm simply excited for it!
A beautiful baby shower. I received so many hand-made gifts, including my friends home sewn cloth diapers (see below!). I'm so blessed with wonderful & talented friends!

{how wonderful are these cloth diapers and the matching dress?}

{ps: counting this as my december photo project, tee hee!)

The fact that five of my six chickens survived today. We came home to a slight massacre involving a hawk and a wellsummer named Holly. Poor Holly, I will miss your tasty eggs!
Reconnecting with an old friend who I hadn't seen in 9 years. We met in 1st grade and were great friends through graduation, and she just moved out to Portland! It was a wonderful meet up.
A chance to have a photo shoot with my husband, as blogged about earlier this week. I love the creative shots we come up with together.
And of course, all of my readers, I'm truly grateful for you!
