Lately I've been in a little bit of a funk. You know what I mean - the kind that something is wrong and you're not sure how to pull yourself out of it or "how can I think differently about this situation". Then yesterday I was speaking with my new blogger friend, Mary, and she told me about a book called 1,000 Gifts. It is a book about looking for the good around us - living in the moment. Right away I went to our local library and they didn't have it. The librarian checked the library loan to see if we could get it transferred down and one of the big libraries in Denver had 8 copies that were all out with 12 more people requesting it when it came back in. Needless to say, our librarian is now ordering the book for our local library "because it must be good." So, it could be a while before I get my hands on a copy (I should probably just buy it), But, I do want to get started on this journey of recognizing all there is to be thankful for (because there is so much).
So, here I go. . .
