Weekly gratitude journal...

Monday and Tuesday were full of unexpected interruptions-some frustrating ones and some lovely ones-so that's why I haven't written this post until now. Today, the opposite of unexpected interruptions happened, some previous plans were canceled. Now I have a day to catch up on things like this and other things that can be done from my home computer. I'm whispering a surprised thanks, for the days full of interruptions, for this quiet day, for all of God's gifts to me.

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)
