Birthday Giveaway
Today is my birthday and the end of my 34th year. Some of you will remember that for birthdays our family takes turns mentioning something they are thankful for about the birthday person and giving them some sort of blessing for the new year.

It wasn't until he said it that that I was able to understand that I was missing gratitude in my life. It's sort of silly to think back on it, but it had never occurred to me to be intentional about gratitude. A week later I ran into Ann Voskamp's post about her gratitude list . I don't think it was a coincidence. And so I started to make a list of my own . It's true you know, practicing gratitude changes you, and the change is good. I have the past two or three years as proof. Today on my birthday I am giving thanks for: sun glistening on rain wet grass and patio tiles Aaron's gourmet omelets Jellybean's sl
