Gratitude Haturday Party

in #haturday7 years ago

I’m having a quiet party at my house today, despite being unreasonably tired.

I even went to bed early last night like a good girl, but I’m functioning on over three years of sleep deprivation (I’m a mommy), so fatigue is woefully normal.

Life rolls on. May as well enjoy it!

For some #haturday fun, I donned my pink kitty hat.

Yes, that’s a boat in my living room. My kids play on it.

Here’s the view out the window:

Down there in the valley is a lake, frozen, of course, with snow on it.

I don’t feel like going outside today. The wood stove is nice and warm. Plus I don’t want to have to change out of my favourite purple skirt, and it is 100% impractical outside in the cold.

Why the little party? Why am I grateful?

I'm thankful for so many things. I'm grateful for my family, for my home, for Mother Earth, for the friends I’ve made on Steemit…

I'm celebrating the fact that @topkpop adopted @d-vine and me, and that @saffisara adopted @emjoe and @ameliabartlett. I'm celebrating having friends to visit when I road trip to Tennessee later this year...

Those who are doing #adoptaminnow, and all of you who function from a place of generosity and genuine goodness on Steemit, YOU’RE AMAZING!

Even Toby-cat is having a party today. His partying includes lots of lying about…

But he also gets frisky.

Here’s another shot of the fabulous purple skirt!

What about you?

What are you grateful for? How do you celebrate, even the smallest things?

I hope you’re having fun, however you can, wherever you are.

Take care of yourself. You are a gift!

Peace. @katrina-ariel

I’m grateful for sharing this platform with genuine, warm people like yourself and those that support the minnows 🤙🏾☺️.

I’m thankful for a place that motivates us to pause and reflect, and share with others. Thanks for this - perfect tone to wind down my night. I’m seriously logging off now 😂😴

lol! I hope you get some good rest. It's exciting, meeting so many amazing people, inspiring each other and riding the collective enthusiasm. I hear you! Sleep is vital, though. Take care of you. :)

Oh my gosh! So much wonderfulness in one post. First off, adore the hat it is so adorable. I also have to admit that the boat in the house thing is a genius idea, may have to use that over here one day. Hi, little kitty cat. What a cutie :) Needless to say I am so happy to have you on board as my minnow.

The pink kitty hat is fun, but I sure get some weird looks if I wear it in public (unless I'm at an event where weird is normal, in which case, YAY!) Thanks for the love, minnowmama. Glad this post made you smile. :)

Love the pink fuzziness. Makes me all warm and fuzzy lol

Warm fuzzies are the best. :) When I was in 1st grade I had probably my all-time favourite teacher. She would give us little fuzzy "creatures" if we were really good (tiny pompom balls with eyes glued on) and called them "warm fuzzies." Me, being the child who felt bad for every stuffed animal that didn't have a home, would cradle my warm fuzzy like a kitten and cherish it all day.

...puuurrrrrrrrrrrr...

Yea girl your awesome, that view is sick, and I bet its awesome to have some winter weather. Life is good and we live on, everyday is a gift and we can share it, cherish it and inspire forward to all our friends and family and be a source of light and life... Be well my friend and congrats on the adoption and I recently apply for the project myself, we will see if it all works out. @katrina-ariel

peace and love

@krazypoet

Ha! Yes, winter is nice, sometimes, though it tends to be a bit long up here. :) As you said, every day is a gift. I love your perspective on that. Thank you so much, and good luck to you! :)

Yay! Grateful for you, sister. This is a lovely post, so soulful. Looking forward to seeing you in person!

Aw, sweet and reciprocated! It will be fabulous to connect "on the ground," so to speak... Sometime when it's warmer, and I don't have to drive 1000s of miles in snow tires. lol! :)

It sounds like you're full-steem-ahead! Great reasons to party 💃
Also Toby-cat is so cute! 😉

Toby-cat is the best. :) Thanks for saying hi, Kimmie! Hope you find your own reasons to celebrate today.

Thank you @katrina-ariel. It' good to see people with so much humility. And people who have so much gratitude such as yourself.
