No matter the emotions or situations that are affecting me - there is always something to be thankful for!!
Sometimes I am just overwhelmed by all of the amazing gifts that are in my life.
Yet more often than not, I forget to thank my Heavenly Father. Please tell me I'm not the only one who takes precious gifts for granted?? :'(
So today I take time, again, to count up to One Thousand Gifts (inspired by Ann Voskamp, here).

Of course your not the only one to forget to be thankful, in fact you are probably more thankful than most - since you're up to number 314! And I am thankful to have such a beautiful daughter as you, who is such an example and inspiration to her siblings and parents!
How are you coping with not being away for 8 whole months??? I am, however, quite happy that you have been home for that long :)
