What are three things in my immediate surroundings that might bring me a sense of gratitude or wonder?

I’m very fortunate to have a lot of art in my home. Many of the paintings were done by my mother and father, which my husband and I “rescued” – long story I won’t go into, but I’m glad they are here safely.. I treasure as much the art in my home made by friends and my own children. Some of the art, like a lovely woodblock print beside me here of a barn and cows, I think I swapped with a friend for some of my own art, which she must have somewhere in her home. I also have beside me a lovely Tansu chest, made by an artisan in town, which he gave me for a piece of fine lace I had knit which he gave to his wife for their anniversary. So many of the things here have lovely connections to people I know and care about. Art really doesn’t have to cost much. There is always a student artist around who would be only too happy to have someone buy a piece for a modest price, so they can buy their next canvas. Across from where I sit is a lovely dresser made of tiger maple that was lovingly restored by friends and given to us when my husband and kids emigrated. We were so poor then and needed furniture, but what they gave was truly an act of love. And there is also a lovely trundle bed in what was the boys’ room that was a gift from a different friend that year! We were blessed to have friends who cared and helped us get started in our new life together.There are a lot of books here. Readers out there know how much books become friends. I’m reading a book now called Handmade, by Melissa K. Norris, which is written by a homesteader about their everyday life and it includes wisdoms and recipes from Buttermilk Pie to Lemon Lime Soap, so it is fun to read and find things to make.I appreciate the question that helps me to see again what is always here, and to feel so lucky. ❤
