"The kingdom of home, as the kingdom of heaven, is within us. It is pleasant and happy or the opposite according as our minds and hearts attune themselves to the beauty and joy around us or vibrate to thoughts of ugliness and discomfort."
- On Wisdom & Virtues, Laura Ingalls Wilder
Kicking off November with a gratitude challenge. Thanksgiving is not for the fortunate few. It is for those who are tuned in.
When I looked out the kitchen door one chilly, damp morning the mare's blanket against the recently reseeded pasture took my breath away. So today I am grateful for little bursts of color in gray days. Figuratively and literally.

I certainly need and want to take this challenge with you! I’m a bit sick of my attitude lately. I could try and blame hormones (I’m almost 47), but I know that with a more thankful attitude I can go back to being a more patient mama.
I’m going to re-blog this onto my blog. I love the quote you found!
