I haven't done an official list of gifts since late November but my gratitude journal has surely grown!
I also finally picked up
"One Thousand Gifts" and read the entire thing in a day. It is AMAZING. I have joined the book club through {in}courage as well. Ann's book is truly transforming. I highly recommend it.
I have started a new journal to go along with the book, so I can add to it with my gifts as I come and go. By the end of the day, I have already forgotten some things! But now I'll be writing it there AND publishing it here.
