Satisfaction...

This I know, that something has shifted in my soul in these five plus years of journaling my gratitude.

My soul has found satisfaction.

*****************

Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.

 I continue to count my thanks

piling up gratitude day by day

in my little green journal.

(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)
