Monday Gratitude...

(sitting in the car with our middle grandson waiting to pick up his cousins, 

our two middle granddaughters, from school)

We are in the mid-west until Wednesday, so I'm just hopping on-line quickly to publish my weekly gratitude post. Happy Monday everyone and remember to count your blessings!

***************

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)
