Choosing an attitude of gratitude...


I actually had to read back through last week's entries in my gratitude journal to remember what I did last week!  All I know is that it was busy and it zoomed by!  Busy and blessed!
****************
Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.
 I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my journal.
(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)

  4. Blessings and more blessings. Reminds me of the old hymn 'Showers of Blessing'. You have definitely been showered with blessings, dear friend.
