Connections with Others
1. UsSchooling. I love the tone and the thought in this blog post. Instead of calling your style eclectic... call it US schooling.
2. Friday Boxes. I used to, with my lad, write down one thing we were thankful for every day. Became part of our routine but sometimes it was hard to come up with something. I really like this idea of writing down one good thing (or more) of each week on a slip of paper, saving them and then reading them out at the end of the year. I think we'll start doing this. Will be lovely to do I think. :)
3. Making a Change. I liked this post of Lori's...I love her flexibility in how each of her children operates best. Made a lot of sense to me it did. :)
4. Is reading Hereditary. I just thought this was an interesting question to ask.
5. Loving Languages Every Day. I just liked this post. Just keeping reading eh?
Moments of Gratitude
1. "Mom, can I help you with anything?" I love hearing those words from my boy. or even better "Mom, is it okay if I vaccuum? Mom, can I sweep the floor"? Why do I love that more? It means I don't have to think of some way to honour his words, he's come up with the idea on his own. :)
2. Snow and Cold. I know it's odd.. but snow and cold mean health. Means germs die. Means no funerals or extra meals. Means nothing is fretting people wise.
3. Clothing and it's options. The fun of watching my boy run around in the snow... with SHORTS on!!! Makes me smile and shake my head and be glad that everyone has been created differently. AND it creates conversation starters with other people... like the fellow at the foodbank asking "what's with the shorts?" and the lad talking with him about how he loves shorts and loves the cold because it means he isn't hot.
4. A talkative husband. Oh my... it's so interesting seeing the stress start to roll off his back and he talking it seems all the time. I'm having a bit of time adjusting to that. It's just so very odd. I like it, but it's a bit of an adjustment.

I love the moments you shared. I make it a point to share my gratitude list in my weekly link up posts on Mondays. Makes such a different when we focus on gratitude.
ReplyDeleteIt doss indeed. Thinking I might link up with you.
DeleteWhat a wonderful idea! Linking up because gratitude, thanks giving, this is something we are really working on this year. Every one of us in the family. It all starts with gratitude! So thankful for you and this encouragement to us here :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's good to remember the good you know?
DeleteThe world definitely needs more gratitude these days. Thanks for sharing on #FridayFrivolity.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I will do my best to join in, though I am finding myself stretched a bit thin when it comes to participating in online things. Not doing as much as I'd like but wanting to spend less time on the computer. Caught between two worlds, you know? I love the idea. Fantastic! - Lori
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason it's biweekly Lori :)
