January (Week One)

It make not look like it from my gifts listed, but week one was a very rough week. It goes to show you that there is always something to be thankful for.

January 1 Three things about yourself you are grateful for:

• Easy care hair.
• Being tall (it has many advantages).
• Aside from migraines, I always been (mostly) healthy.

January 2 A  gift outside, inside, on a plate:

Beautiful morning sunshine making the clouds pink/orange.

Pink poinsettia brightening our great room.

Grilled cheese sandwiches on bakery bread.

January 3 Three lines that you overheard that were graces:

• "You can play with this."
• "You want me to colour with you?"
• "Leave the dishes. I will do them."

January 4 One gift old, new, and blue:
 
 Lavender hand and foot lotion from Murray last Valentine's Day. It's divine!

 Beautiful seashell necklace from my sweet friend Joanna in the Solomon Islands.

A cowl neck scarf for Maverick.

January 5 Something you're reading, you're making, you're seeing:

My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald Chambers.

 A wrap ( I hope I have enough wool) for me.

Our beautiful new fireplace.

January 6 One thing in your bag, your fridge, your heart:

Art doodles by little hands in my 'life" planner (actually a notebook that I would really hate to lose.)

Milk for coffee and for strong healthy children.

Peace for today.

January 7 Three graces from people you love:

• Justifiable anger when it was needed.
• The man who holds my hand and heart.
• Children who love me even when I fail.
