Snow day gratitude...

I'm still staying at my youngest daughter's house for a couple of more days, helping her with our newborn granddaughter and our twenty month old grandson. So, yesterday I got busy and distracted and didn't post my gratitude journal for last week, so today it is!  As always, there is so much to give God thanks for - like waking up to a wee bit of snow, just enough to have some fun!
******************
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)
