268 Gifts

Last month I gave you a peek at some of the things on my list of 1000 gifts for 2012. I was up to 72 at that time. I've reached the 268 mark and thought I would let you peek at a few more.

80. One single deer in a snow-covered clearing.

89. Begrudging praise turned authentic.

102. Fat, feathery birds in the snow.

121. Days lived one breath at a time.

135. Awakening to the view of a lighted church steeple.


151. The darling dog, Silas, that visited SHARE.
170. Strength to carry heavy suitcases down two flights of stairs.

184. Snow-globe-esque showers outside my window.

206. Bonnie Gray's blog post about being "pregnant with a promise."

215. Lungs burning with cold air.

228. Dancing with Julia.

245. Hug from my former boss and dear friend, Lois.

...Thankful...
