Today's gratitude list predominantly continues on the theme of free and freedom from last week (http://xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2015/06/gratitude-list-8-free-and-freedom.html) as well as the outdoors, in no particular order as follows:
* Reading an interesting sci-fi book: didn't think I was a fan of science fiction!
* Relaxing and reading in a nearby park with lots of trees, including tall pine trees
* Creating colourful and tasty salads with organic vegetables and fruit
* Free samples including that of food
* Fridays Shipyards Night Market in North Van
* Gelato! Especially on a warm summer evening - oh, spring!
* Free music outdoors and great bands
* Free vocal session (introductory)
* Free coffee after so many stars/points collected
* Free/donation luncheon
* Being able to air dry laundry again outside on a sunny weekend
* Walking the neighbourhood nightly, usually around sunset (before/after) sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend
* Beauty whether homes, gardens, neighbourhoods, and vistas
* A walk by the ocean in picturesque West Vancouver
* Eyesight: being able to read and see lovely vistas
P.S. I changed my photo on last week's gratitude of the side of this Bavarian Alps home.
And now your turn, what are you grateful for? Today and/or this past week and/or in general?
Free is wonderful, isn't it?! Love the list!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Laurel! It sure is! ;) Thanks. :) <3
DeleteI like my food to be colorful too. And sci-fi books are usually awesome!
ReplyDeletehaha! My food isn't always colourful, though usually my salads are pending the veggies and fruit I have to go with them! ;) And yes, I now realize sci-fi isn't all that bad after all! ;) <3
Deleteyou pretty much listed some of the things I am grateful for :) walking by the ocean, watching sunrises, tasty salads, books ... life in general :D
ReplyDeleteGreat! :) However, no mention of sunrises on my part as I'm not usually up that early or at least up to look at one, unlike you! ;) <3
DeleteGreat list, Elly! Definitely things to be grateful for. I agree. It's so beautiful out there on the west coast. Haven't been in years since my parents are on the east coast and I go that direction all the time. It's beautiful there, too, but in a more rugged harsh kind of a way.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy. :) Yes, a grateful heart for all these things. :) And it certainly is beautiful here...maybe worth a visit? ;) <3
