it’s december 1st. already. has the Christmas flurry hit your home yet? are the tunes ringing, lights twinkling, goodies baking? perhaps you have snow (*jealous*) or an ornament adorned cacti in your yard (ahem, lover…) never-the-less, Christmas is upon us. but before we dive head first into the jingle, jangle of Christmas, i wanted to give a quick farewell to the month of november and to my gratitude project. i know some of you that started your own gratitude projects, and whether on facebook, at home or in your heart, thank you for joining me in spreading the gratitude fever.
i thought i would share a little recap of the month. a list outlining my gratitude, along with a photo-montage of course! and as i look over my list, i feel that cup-half-full feeling. that bubbling up, happy-in-my-heart contentedness. thankful. blessed. truly blessed. i hope you do to.
