Day 16,494 Gratitude

So grateful for this Colonial Candle that fills my home with its berry-liciousness. Every year I find myself on a quest for a pine candle that actually smells like pine. I always give up and go with this mulberry candle instead. Not exactly a traditional holiday scent, of course, but my family and I have enjoyed it for so many years that the connection is there for us.

So grateful for lunch today with dear friend, Beth, at Green Dog Cafe. (Also grateful for her newest shots from Spring Grove that are creatively inspiring the daylights out of me.)

So grateful for the familiar comfort of needle(s) and yarn. My pacifier.

So grateful to be registered for Julie Lusk's yoga sleepover in January. She holds these amazing weekend retreats twice per year ... winter and summer. I know that I've attended at least a dozen of them over the years. The winter gathering is my favorite. A great way to welcome the fresh, new year. Also, a great opportunity to clobber my cabin fever.

So grateful for two cosmic nudges today to relaunch Mandala Mondays in 2011. Watching and waiting for the third to seal the deal.

What are you grateful for today?
