Gratitude Lately

The title of today’s post is borrowed from a favorite blogger of mine, who makes it a habit to detail the things, events, and people for which she is grateful.  Should she ever stumble across this site, I hope she will be honored that she has inspired me, and not offended that I’m borrowing her format.

Cultivating a mindset of appreciation and attention to detail is not always the easiest thing to do in a world that makes it easy to move fast and overlook the mundane.  Hopefully this series helps me adopt the habit of mindfulness and provides my few and faithful readers with glimpses of the sacred I’m finding in my everyday.  

Lately I’ve been thankful for friends that speak to me in my new language.

Well said, Ashley. Ten extra points for including my Namibian nickname.

For a boyfriend that woos me across the Atlantic with hand-painted cards.

For the N$5.99 deck of cards I bought with the world’s soccer greats on them.

And for friends to test the promises of Mnanti’s “smooth and creamy home brew.”

Here’s to gratitude and how it turns everything into enough.
