Gratitude Gems: Getting a Ride
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! Sometimes, it really is the small things that make a person’s day. I’ve been struggling lately. This pregnancy has me feeling tired pretty much all the time, which isn’t news. But it does mean that when I’m moving, […]
Gratitude Gems: Back to Work
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I just had 10 days off in a row for the holidays so coming back to work, especially on a Monday, feels very hard to do. I’m not in the mood to work. I’d rather be putting away […]
Gratitude Gems: After the Holiday Weekend
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! Today on this holiday-in-lieu Monday, as I take the opportunity to stay in my PJs all day and drink tea and cuddle with my hubby and my puppy and enjoy some downtime now that we’re back at home, […]
Gratitude Gems: Small Holiday Traditions
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! At this time of year, people take comfort in their own holiday traditions.

Gratitude Gems: So Many People to Buy For
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I know Christmas isn’t just about gift-giving. And that if I do give gifts it shouldn’t be about the amount spent but rather the thought behind it. And that if I don’t give gifts it doesn’t mean I […]

Gratitude Gems: A Free Movie
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! A couple of weeks ago I entered to win two free screener passes to a movie, and lo and behold, I won! The passes were for The Good Dinosaur and we went to see it last week. Of […]
Gratitude Gems: No Snow Yet
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! Today I got to bike to work because it still hasn’t snowed here in the city. What a treat! Most mornings lately I’ve chickened out and walked because I’m afraid it’ll snow while I’m at work and I […]
Gratitude Gems: Remembrance Day
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! I don’t believe in war for the sake of war. I understand why we maintain our armed forces – violent conflicts are part of the world we live in after all – but one of the reasons I […]
Gratitude Gems: Friendships Worth the Extra Effort
Welcome to Gratitude Gems, where I show a little appreciation for the good things in my life! We helped two of our very good friends move to another city over the weekend. It’s not far, Calgary from Edmonton; our rival city to the south is only a three-hour drive away. But that drive is a pretty […]
