Noticing my life...

Is it just me, or does this year seem to be zooming by at supersonic speed? We are already nearly halfway through 2018! I wish I could slow time down and slowly savor the moments of my life. While that is impossible, keeping a gratitude journal is my small way of refusing to let those moments fly by unnoticed.
****************
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)
