100 Gifts Week – Of lip balm and family photos

by | Nov 23, 2011 | Writing | 2 comments

This week, I’m focusing on a lot of things that I’m thankful for. Please, in the comments, share even the smallest gifts that you’ve noticed today.

  1. a reminder to stop complaining and give thanks instead
  2. pomegranates on sale
  3. a clean kitchen at the end of a long day
  4. soothing lip balm
  5. reliving grandparent’s life through photos
  6. a husband to put out fires (literally)
  7. feeling guilt-free about skipping a work out
  8. cheesy bread. enough said.
  9. funny t-shirts
  10. social media consulting for family
  11. relying on prayer
  12. encouraging others
  13. good news to start the weekend
  14. sharing good news with others
  15. being excited for friend’s new possibilities
  16. helping out on homework
  17. feeling okay with being 4,000 words behind on my NaNoWriMo count
  18. finding the perfect songs for a slideshow
  19. learning how to burn a dvd
  20. mastering the slideshow/imovie
I’ve kept a (fairly) regular gifts journal ever since my friend, Caitlin Muir, began doing her Thankful Thursday posts in the style of Ann Voskamp‘s One Thousand Gifts. If you haven’t heard of or read One Thousand Gifts, do so – now.

    I have an awful cold, and my sweet daughter brought me coffee and Airborne.
