My friend Jane recommended this book to me, and am I so glad she did!
The author Ann Voskamp is a farmers wife and young Mother of six children. She found that in giving thanks for the life she had, she found the life she'd always wanted.
I hope that you will check out her blog too. As with her book.....it is so poetically written, only with beautiful photos.

I have started my own list of the things that I've been in too big of a hurry to notice, to be thankful for, to call it joy in my life.
a list of
My, one thousand gifts.....
By doing so, it slows down the day that is passing me by too quickly.
My list grows daily.
You, whose blogs I spend time reading and learning from, are on my list of thanksgiving.....
You are among.. my one thousand gifts.
I hope you will read the book and let me know what you think....I really hope you will tell a friend about it too.
This is what echos from my heart today.......
You know, Debi, no matter how I'm feeling; when I visit you I'm always lifted up! And, I thank you for that.

I have heard of this book but now will definitely have to check it out! A beautiful post!
ReplyDeleteI purchased a copy of this book for my sister on her birthday. I could barely part with it after I started reading it. I look forward to buying my own copy and reading it from cover to cover. I want my life to be filled with gratitude and I so appreciate reading your post. Your life continues to inspire me.
