I have been reading a blog called A Holy Experience and the writer is encouraging everyone to count a thousand gifts for 2012. I will be highlighting those in bold each week as I attempt to exceed the thousand gifts. With the feeling that I’ve been more ungrateful than grateful, I want to change that, which is why I started doing Thankful Thursdays. I can’t be more thankful in my heart if I can’t think of things I’m not thankful for.
475. My smile, my thoughtfulness, my height
476. Clouds; Heat; Vegetables
477. You can love people by saying “no”; I’m sorry; Can I help you?
478. My grandmother’s cameo; my heirloom engagement ring; the sky
479. Julia Child’s: Master the Art of French Cooking; Memories; Lives Change
480. Lactaid pills; White wine; Desire for change
481. Forgiveness; Patience; Acceptance
482. Sunlight peering through; Clouds on the water; Catching my husband looking at me
