One Thousand Gifts

Since Christmas, I have been reading the book One Thousand Gifts. This is the book written by the woman whose blog (about the book) inspired my sister in law to start writing her thankful lists, which in turn inspired me. So naturally reading the book itself is inspiring me more!

421. The house is quiet and warm
422. NyQuil - I've been a sick girl this week
423. 99 years of life for my grandpa, who passed away on Thursday
424. Hearing and seeing my husband on Skype tonight while I made dinner
425. Children sitting at opposite ends of the couch reading, legs and feet tangled together
426. Good friends back from long furloughs
427. Finding a way to church that is free from traffic
428. Kindle

440. And Plyometrics tomorrow, which I actually can do
441. candles
442. Using candles to roast marshmallows
