Today as part of the 7 Days To Rediscovering Your Blogging Groove on Write Tribe, we’re writing link posts.
I’m playing on the word ‘link’ here, so while I share some links to some content on gratitude later in the post, I’m also giving thanks this week for the connections in my life. I’m also going so far as to say that gratitude helps to create better relationships. Perhaps, I’ll write a post about that later.
My gratitude list for this week has me being grateful for all the relationships in my life. Jose had his birthday on the 8th and birthdays are always a special time to be grateful for the birthday boy/girl and to celebrate their life. I’m grateful for all the sense and balance he brings to my life as well as the love, care and laughter.
I’m also grateful for my friend, Sapna Naidu Franswah, who I admire very much. In this last year, Sapna’s creativity seems to have exploded and she’s doing a lot of creating and painting. Remember, I told you of my plans to create a sacred space in my home. I think these lovely stones I ordered from Sapna will make a good add to that space.
Always the generous and thoughtful soul, Sapna created a special stone from me with the reference to my favorite Bible verse – Jeremiah 29: 11.
You can find Sapna’s store, Bohemian Soul Art on Facebook.
