gra·mer·cy [gr-uh-mur-see]
archaic. (interjection) – used to express gratitude or surprise
i believe strongly in the power of gratitude. of being thankful for what we have. of expressing appreciation.
it keeps our souls healthy and it brings joy to the front.
so on mondays, the dreaded return to the grind day, i plan to begin with an attitude of gratitude. not always food-related, but sometimes. maybe a product i love. possibly a place i miss… always gramercy!
it’s hard to believe it’s been 13 years.
13 years, 8 homes, 7 moves, 3 little lovely amalgams of the two of us.
13 years that have brought struggles and joys. long-distance chats, face-to-face laughs. cross words, forgiving hugs.
colonel kumquat is always great about gifts. he never forgets. poor guy, i never buy him much. except maybe a coffee mug. that i use.
this year i kinda fell in love with lisa leonard’s jewelry. i’m not so much a jewelry wearer, so her simple styles are totally my kind. several months ago i told my guy about this necklace.
the beautifully simple gold bar necklace with the sweet tiny diamonds to represent each of our tiny people.
guess what i got for our anniversary… good job, babes.
i also splurged on myself and bought her always together birthstone ring. my first piece of jewelry with all of their birthstones together. i love it.
so today, i’m grateful for these simple, lovely jewels and what they represent.
and for the past 13 years, every one of them!
