I’ve always thought of myself as one who appreciates life’s many blessings. I often find myself sending up little wisps of thankful prayers throughout my day. However, being intentional about blogging my daily gratitude this past month has truly been a joy and has increased my awareness of just how much I have to be…
30 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 29
Right from the start this kid has kept me on my toes. I am constantly inspired by his creative mind, impressive knowledge about music (and lots of other things), and hilarious Facebook posts. I am thankful for him and our relationship. I love you, Chris!
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 28
I am so thankful for our Shiloh. He is the sweetest, gentlest, calmest dog we’ve ever had. He’s also very well-behaved – other than occasionally getting on the sofa. 😉 Isn’t he cute?: Such a funny boy: If you’d like to follow him on Facebook, just click here.
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 27
I think we all know how I feel about tea. Never a day goes by that I don’t have at least one cup. But as the temperature drops my intake goes up. Today Lisa and I went swimming at the gym and warmed up really well in the sauna before we left. This lasted only…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 26
I adore Christmas lights. Back when we lived in town David put up white Christmas lights all around the roof, eaves, peaks and windows. He spent ages doing it for me, making sure each light was perfectly straight. It was gorgeous! Because the lights were white and the way he put them up they were…

My mom brought a really nice salad with all sorts of toppings and a…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 24 (belated)
Yesterday as I made coconut cream pies from Grandma’s old recipe, I thought about her and the legacy she left behind. Nothing was more important to her than family. I can’t begin to count the number of times I heard her say, “I have the best family.”. She wasn’t bragging; she honestly believed that. Over…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 23 (belated)
I got behind on my thankfulness posts so I’m going to catch up today. I took this photo on our land the other morning while walking Shiloh. We’ve had a beautiful autumn – warm days, cool nights, and some of the prettiest fall color we’ve had the past few years. I am so thankful for…
30 Days of Thankfulness: Day 22
Happy Thanksgiving! This evening we had our big family meal at my cousin’s house and we just got home a few minutes ago. We had such a nice time, as always. Good food and lots of laughter. I had meant to take a lot of pictures but never got around to it. My mom had…
