Gratitude List:
1.  My new adjustable dress form.  Well, new to me.   Got it for a steal at The Bargain Bungalow.
2.  When I told Ellis that we were thinking that maybe he might go to school this fall, he said, “Yes, I think that would be a good idea.”  And he has bought himself a School Supplies cigar box (at The Bargain Bungalow), and has begun to talk about things he is going to tell his teacher.
3.  Four wonderful years with a charming small person who is growing into himself.  (And that I am not going into labor tonight as I did four years ago.)
4.  Ritual.  Group contemplation and meditation.
5.  Silence.  Waiting.  Stillness.

Nettles coming up.  Such a lovely violet on the tips.
