Weekly Gratitude Journal...

It's Memorial Day and so I begin my weekly gratitude post by giving thanks to God for all who have laid down their lives in service for our country.

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

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 journal.

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