"G" is for Gratitude.

Today's post is brought to you by the letter "G."

And these are a few of the things I'm grateful for:

• This space.
• Nearing completion on the very large alphabet commission, enjoying the process along the way, and finally getting around to sharing it!
• The fact that there's only 8 days between me and a much desired vacation.
• Meeting just the right person at just the right time.
• Voicemail...and the love, friendship, and support it is able to contain.
• The ceiling fan above my bed, sweet relief from the heat.
• The potential in everything.
• Really wonderful emails and blog comments.
• Good books.
  
• Rose petal iced tea.
• A cold shower and rosemary mint soap after working outside in the sun all day.
• ...followed by a deliciously homemade Greek dinner prepared by my husband.
• ...followed by an hour of laying in my hammock with a good book and my 2 dogs playing underneath me (my definition of heaven).
• ...followed by returning a whole slew of emails that I am receiving in response to my recent Call for Dogs--and feeling a drastic spike in hopefulness in the process.
  
• Getting to know the incredible group of women that are participating in the first gathering of Creating in the Midst.
  
• Late night double espressos.
• Stunning dog photos and the freedom to choose which ones I want to paint.
• Inspiration.
• A body that works well, despite the abuse I sometimes put it through.
• This quote.
• The fact that this list is nowhere near complete....
  

...more letters coming soon! :)
