Gratitude Friday 08/19/2011, simply Thank you.

Gratitude Friday is a weekly ritual I started in order to focus on all the small and big positive things that happened during my week. I invite you to join me, you'll see how much being thankful can change your life. If you want to know more about it, read my introduction post.

Hello !

How was this week ? I know for a lot of you Moms out there it was back-to-school week. I hope all went well for you as for your kids (or not so kids anymore). For us, it will be in September, in just a bit more than 2 weeks from now. I love my kids but school time is much better for all of us than two months of vacation And the girls are soooo excited !

This week, I am thankful for:

• My creative juice, still yummy and pouring on the canvas.
• I finished my Art Journal and started (hmmm in fact, I just gesso-ed the first page but still) the #5. You can see the video right here if you haven't watched it yet. Feels good. A page is being turned, plenty of others are just wainting to be created, discovered, written.
• I love my Mamounette (aka Mom), and she will be with us in 2 months from now. Despite all the crap happening, I know she will still be coming.
• We received a package full of goodies from my family-in-law.
• Words with friends can be funny, after all.
• Rising Appalachia's music, I listened to it over and over all week.
• The kindness of the ladies at the scrapbook store Clipper Street. Can't wait to play with my new stencils from Crafter's workshop.
• I got a sale from my affiliation with Goddess Leonie. Thank you to you who made it through me. I know you will enjoy the Goddess Circle.
• Teesha Moore is way more than an amazing inspiring artist.
• Thank you to you, who come on my blog, and take the time to stay, read a bit, comment sometimes. It's okay if you don't leave a word too.
• I received very nice comments on my Art journal video. It is always something that warms my heart.
• I started writing daily again. Just venting, sorting things out.
• My brother-in-law arrived to day for his vacations with us, he is the one who comes every single summer since the first year of our Canadian life (the first one, was 6 months after our arrival). He will be here for Grenouille's birthday. It means a lot to her.
