The ABC's of Gratitude

Whoa, long time, no post! I knew it had been a while, but...well as you can imagine it's been a crazy summer! Busy at work, busy in life. Weddings are a lot of work for someone who hates details.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to do a gratitude journal. Another blogger I read is doing that, and also because- (confession time) I don't blog sometimes because I'm not sure what to write. There are lots of things on my mind but it's hard to choose. So maybe having a topic will help focus me.

I'll move through the alphabet and blog things I'm thankful for according to the letter of the day. Gratitude journals have always helped my faith...so without further ado:

A:

Annie- My soul sister from way back in those swing choir days I mentioned in my sermon a couple weeks ago. She is a dear friend and an inspiration to me.

Anticipation- It's really more than half the fun. I usually enjoy thinking about my vacations more than I enjoy the actual vacation. Anyone else? There's a healthy dose of anticipation in my life these days, waiting for the wedding. I know it's going to fly by, so I'm trying to enjoy the moments before, too.

Alison- My lovely sister. A great example of faith and love.

Attentiveness- People who have the gift of giving their full attention to someone. Also peole who are attentive to details and catch things that I might miss!

Soo, there's the first letter down! I encourage you to journal/blog along with me and see what blessings you discover!
