And so, with thankfulness, here is today's daily 5 list:
- I'm thankful for another year
- I'm thankful for family and friends who love me
- I'm especially thankful today for all of the unique friends I've made via the blogging community - I so love each of you, and love hearing from you, and your unique comments and insights both in comments here and in your writing on your own blogs.
- I'm thankful for time spent outside of the city today
- I'm thankful for the first day in ages without any school commitments
- I'm thankful for the reminder that showing up here each evening to make this list really is in my days - to constantly choose joy, to keep an eye out for things that would make good list items and really notice the things in my days that bring smiles.
- I'm thankful for a line in a Rob Bell teaching dvd that I watched again recently "You don't have to live like this." and the freedom that line offered
- I'm thankful for 27 years of life
- I'm thankful for brothers with a way better eye for clothes than I have (how unfair is that, by the way??) who use their talent to buy their sister new hoodies and things for her birthday
- I'm thankful for a day without tears, and with many smiles.
