It's the Little Things

A few months ago I wrote a post about gratitude that you can find here. I want to make giving thanks a habit. Here are a few things that I've been thankful for in the last week:

~a Valentine's Day waffle brunch with my family

~precious moments with my niece

~a message of freedom and grace that lifted my soul

~coffee and cookies with a wonderful friend 

~encouragement from a caring friend

~sunshine and warm weather

~a quiet, inviting coffee shop

~pretending with little friends

~photobooth and lots of giggles with three cuties

~a fresh apple and cocoa almonds for an afternoon snack

~extra time for an afternoon walk

~chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

~finding a community of women that struggle with the same things that I do

~discovering some new amazing tunes

~hours of studying paying off

~relief from stress

~a God that's bigger than my problems and struggles

~giant, fluffy snowflakes that stick in my hair

*Have you ever thought about recording the things that you're thankful for? 

*Do you take pictures, write in journal, or blog about them? 

*Have you noticed a difference in your attitude when you take time to be thankful for the little and big things in life?
