I managed to spend the whole weekend without much internet -hence the missing gratitude journal post. So this day three is actually day 5 - I will pick up where I left off :) So, what are the five things I am happy about?
1. Mom's cooking – need I say more?
2. Had my brother and his friends over for lunch. We sat around the dining table for several hours - just talking and eating and drinking - enjoying a great bottle of Vinho Verde. If feels so good to take the time to just sit around and linger after the meal for hours. We are always rushing through our lunches and dinners during weekdays, so these lingering meals over the weekend are greatly needed.
3. Harvested a basket full of tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers from my garden. Ah… this is what I dreamed of all winter.
4. Remember the pumpkin that showed up in my garden last year? Well, this year two of them showed up in my front yard. Most probably from the Halloween pumpkin that was sitting on the front porch. They are doing really well and already have 3-4 baby pumpkins on them.
5. It was 100 deg at 7 in the evening. Went for a long walk - drenched in sweat - feeling light and detoxified. I thought about the harsh winter we had and thought to myself that I will take 100 degrees over 25 degrees any day :)

Hey Lori - I will write it online for a week and then switch to a real paper and pen version. Would love to see some pages from your journal :)
