999. for sticking with counting my blessings and the change of attitude and heart that has taken place

1000. for an Almighty God who I continue to learn more and more about each day and the love He gives me daily

I made it to counting 1000 gifts! I started counting my blessings on February 7th so it took me a little over 5 months! This list is so precious to me. It walked with me through some favorite times and some of my saddest and hardest times. From my 93 year old grandmother visiting to losing my three week old niece- this challenge helped keep me focus on Him- and to see His presence constantly around me.

Will I keep counting? Yes. Will I keep sharing them? Probably not. What will I blog about now? Who knows.

I really want to get my list turned into a little book for a keepsake for my family.

Thanks for taking the journey with me- my friends and family were a big part that kept me going- knowing I had made a commitment to share them each Monday made me write them down and make it a priority even when the going got tough!

Just for fun- comment below on one of your favorites from my list over the last five months! I looked back over them and enjoyed reminiscing!
