A year of gratitude

Blogging.... I've been thinking about blogging for years now. It seems like such a great way to journal, but who wants to read my journal; do I want people to read my journal anyways? Blogging seems like a great way to keep in touch...but how do I keep in touch if I don't get any responses? It seems like a great way to let people know what's going on in my life...but does anyone really want to know? So, blogging has left me bewildered and unattached, until now!

Here it is... after a few years of contemplating whether I'm a 'blogger' or not, I've decided to start my own in effort to be more intentional in displaying (and feeling) gratitude. I find that the simplest blessings make me smile throughout my days and I'm so quick to forget to thank the One who gave them to me. In my attempt to be more thankful this year, I'm going to blog about my daily happenings while expressing the gratitude I have for the life I'm living. I tell my husband so often "We've got the world by the tail..." and while I truly believe that we do, I know the best is yet to come in our journey through life together. As an eager attempt to be more thankful to my Lord and Savior, as well as my loving support system, I am going to reflect on what it is that makes this life so great... and while I do, you better believe I'll be having the time of my life!

Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (NIV)

Today I'm grateful for: Life!
