I have seen several blogs do this tradition of Multitude Monday where they list things they are thankful for from the previous week. I enjoyed reading others the last several months and have found myself thinking- if I were to do "Multitude Mondays" I would write such and such on the list. So this week during my qt- I penciled a list of the little things that I was thankful for and have decided to share them! Not sure if I will do this every week or share every time but have to say it keeps life so much more positive. I am probably doing an injustice to what Multitude Monday is all about- but here goes my version.

anna! you have got to read the book One Thousand Gifts. my sis sent it to me and i'm a few chapters in. it's about a woman who's had a difficult life and is looking for deeper meaning. she is a believer and is challenged to write down 1000 things she is thankful for. the book is her story of how being thankful for the everyday things changed her life. it's a really neat book...i think you would love it!
