Thankful For :: 231 - 240

"Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many;

not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some."

-- Charles Dickens

I continue to count my blessings. I hope you do as well.

233. Stacks of new books

234. Sunshine

235. My first week of work

236. Free Amazon gift cards

237. Nephews

238. Fleece blankets and soft socks

239. A handy-man husband

240. Finding yummy new South Beach Phase 1 recipes

L - Middle Eastern Bean Salad ; R - Roasted Chickpeas

C.S. Lewis once said, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." Dream BIG. After going "there and back again," The Hubs & I have created a home that is full of books, stimulating conversation, and the laughter of our five kids. We have been the recipients of Amazing Grace, and our life goals can be summed up in four words: Love God, love people.
