beginnings of gratitude....

This year I want to intentionally give thanks to God for all he provides, to make it a habit, a second skin. To teach my kids gratitude for everyday blessings, to teach my self. With words and photos I hope to document my 1000 gifts...

 Gifts for 2013....

January 1: Three gifts heard: "Mommy! Huggies!", coffee brewing, and the quiet at days end...

January 2 : A gift outside, inside, on a plate: birds at the feeder, new books to read aloud, crumbs from a meal devoured..

 January 3: Three graces overheard: pleases, thank you's, and admonitions to be kinder....

January 4: A gift old, new, blue: favorite games rediscovered, an I.D. bracelet for my girl, and always, always, my husbands eyes...
