Wow, that was so fantastic to do! I encourage anyone to sit down and do this! It is so uplifting! It is amazing, we spend so much energy sweating the small stuff, but struggle to celebrate the equally small, but beautiful stuff! Trust me, it is energy well spent!
I am very flattered that I got mentioned at 14 and 15. I am glad that I made you happy :-) And I have decided that I will also now start referring to "out the back" as "my patio" instead.
ReplyDeleteI deleted my blog, but maybe I will re-start one with gratitude as a theme!

I like this quite a bit. It's tempting.
ReplyDeleteAlso great new design/colour.
It seriously is so uplifting. I am planning to do it with my KidsHope girl this year - just one thing a week, and then at the end of the year, present it all to her in a pretty book.
