As this new year begins, I want to start it off by being intentionally grateful. As the name of this blog indicates, I am blessed. Blessed in so many ways, large and small.
And yet, I feel that I have lost sight of that somewhat lately. I have been feeling rather discontented. Life has been so different for us these past 18 months. No regular paychecks. Renting instead of owning. Relationships lost.
But we are so incredibly blessed. And I want...no, need to celebrate those blessings. So once a week I will be placing the focus here on things large and small for which I am grateful.
And it begins today.
0001. waking up to a fresh snowfall
0002. having a clean desk
0003. a warm and cozy house on a cold, wintry night
0004. sweet talks with my daughter at bedtime
0005. snuggling with my son first thing in the morning
0006. a husband who loves me even when I'm acting like a jerk
0007. my new galoshes
0008. cousins
