Gratitude: Ludovico Einaudi [ 10 Best ] Vol.1

I just discovered this.  I am SO thankful.

Gratitude - Thank You From a Co-Worker

I had helped out a co-worker yesterday, and today I had the nice surprise of a thank you flower!

Joy - Suddenly Seeing and Remembering This Song

 

Joy - Hilarious Carpool Karaoke

I watched this on my lunch today.  So funny!  And such a reminder of the amazing music that Coldplay has put out over the years.

Joy - This Beautiful Showing of Respect

Joy--this had me completely in awe, and crying by the end of it.

Gratitude - The Kindness of Strangers

Today I took a tumble at the bus station (I bus to work each morning).  I don't know it happened, I just know that somehow I went from running for the bus, to being air born, and then landed on my left side.

I landed and immediately I was surrounded by legs, which belonged to people who were concerned with my welfare!  There were many, "Are you OK?" questions, to which I was able to say yes, I was OK, I was just trying to get the bus.  I was very embarrassed and not a little angry with myself for falling in public like that, but I was able to remember to thank people for helping me.

Someone asked me which bus I was trying to catch, and when I told them it was the #11, they looked out the doors, and one of them ran to stop the bus, which was going to leave any second.

I shuffled painfully out the door (most likely very red-faced), and someone was up at the bus, asking the driver to wait for me.  I finally got there, and the driver asked me if I was OK.  I said yes, thanks.

I'd started out having a bad-ish day (left my home later than usual, so wasn't able to stop for a tea and bagel, then falling), but I ended up very thankful for the kindness of strangers.

  

Joy - This Beautiful Song

Joy and Wonder - Music!

If you smoosh these two together, it's exactly like my experience when I'm writing.

Wonder - Gorgeous Sunrise!

Joy - Kindness Everywhere

Today I had so many doors held for me (and I held for others, of course).  I also was in line behind two ladies, one an older lady without a cart, the other younger with a cart.  I was looking around (the line was long) and when I looked back, apparently the younger lady had offered part of her cart to hold the older lady's groceries!  I couldn't hear what they were saying to each other, but both were smiling. :)

Gratitude - Found Hard-To-Find Seeds!

I've been looking for organic garlic for months (I have my first-ever community garden plots next summer!), and have found nothing, and I do mean NOTHING anywhere near me.  So, I decided to look all over the country, and was able to find it way out in BC!  Rather far to ship, but it's a small, independent farm, which I'm happy to support, and they also have ancho/poblamo seeds, which I was also looking for!  There's so many recipes for those peppers, but I've only seen them once or twice here (like, ever) and they're usually pretty expensive.  The shipping is $8, but it's most of the way across the country, and I hopefully can save some seeds, so I'm not too concerned. :)

Gratitude - Random Act of Kindness

I was at the grocery store tonight, expecting it to be crazy packed, but it wasn't (gratitude for that too!) to pick up a few things, and to get some money for the farmer's market on Saturday.

Unfortunately, I suppose because it was close to closing, the cashier handed me a $50 bill, which is way too big to bring to the farmer's market (I would feel so bad for asking them to accept it for 50 cents in green onions or something!).  I asked if she didn't have anything smaller, and she said she couldn't even give me twenties, because she was so low.

I was trying to figure out how this was going to work, when the lady behind me said, "I can give you change!" and proceeded to do so!  Very thankful for that random act of kindness!

I'm going to keep an eye out this weekend for an opportunity to pay it forward. :)

So...what random act of kindness can you do today?

Joy Wonder and Gratitude - Helicopter Rides

Joy Wonder and Gratitude - Being in the right place at the right time, to go on my very first helicopter ride with Women in Aviation.  Very cool, and surprisingly smooth!

Gratitude - Healthy Yummy Food!

I came across this channel on YouTube today.  It's called Sweet Potato Soul:

I'm not a vegan, but I love finding recipes to help me to eat more fruit and veggies.  Plant-based vegan recipes are often a great source!  This channel so far has a lot of yummo recipes, including the breakfast recipes in this link.  Healthy and delicious breakfast recipes make me grateful!!!

Joy - Let's Go Fly a Kite!

Joy - This had me smiling so hard, my cheeks hurt now!

Wonder - Beautiful Ice Storm

Wonder - The whole world covered in a thick layer of ice, and made more beautiful by it.

Wonder - Beautiful Walks

Wonder - Christmas Day was sunny and warm.  A walk with my Aunt was too good to pass up!
