Gratitude Challenge (II)

#4 I am grateful for "the park" where there are always beautiful sunsets. "The park" is only about a two-minute walk away coming here every evening is a treat. Beautiful water, docked boats, and the Florida sky.
#5 I am grateful for my sista'! Emily and I had a girls night the other night that entailed chips n' salsa, cookies, a couch, talks, and laughs. LOVEEE her!
It also must be stated that I had many other things I was grateful for and I may just just have to do this more than once. :)

Gratitude Challenge

I was challenged by Tara Whitney (http://tarawhitney.com/justbeblogged/), an incredibly inspiring photographer from California, to take the gratitude challenge. That is, to take five pictures in one day that express gratitude. I absolutely loved the idea and yesterday was spent being grateful for all the many things I've been blessed with.

#1 I am grateful for my quiet time. The time I can spend intimately knowing God more deeply. There's nothing better than waking up, praying and opening His word.

#2 I am grateful for alone time at Panera. I love that I can spend time reading a book with a good lunch and be wonderfully content. Oh! ..and of course the mountain dew!

#3 I am grateful for these girls (and Kylie the doggie)! I have watched these little lovelies grow up and I just love every ounce of them. The giggles, the constant bandaids (note: pointer finger), freckles sprinkled across the nose, random dancing, and dress up, of course! Thank you Lord for this family!

Today I was flipping through a book called "Great Escapes" while sitting on a pretty Anthropologie couch. I've been blessed to travel (and live) in some beautiful places and can easily say that Leland is a town that would qualify as a "great escape." I long to return to this quaint fish town in Michigan with tugboats, wooden shingles, and bicycles to share. Hmm...

My summer freckles are starting to sprinkle across my nose. It's a little bit exciting.

Bloggers, I have been a little bit consumed with flickr. You have the right to hate, but I'm going to cheat and export my flickr posts to here. Hope you enjoy them no matter what! :) xo
