1000 Gifts {1-21}

Today I'm trying something new ... this month I have pondered the word 'thanksgiving' quite a bit. I think it only comes natural at this time of year to think about thankful things. {try saying that 10x fast!}

So I've decided to link up and join in with Ann Voskamp's blog where she counts 1000 gifts. From her blog:
"Want to drink the joy elixir? Become a Joy Finder? Consider joining the Gratitude Community-- just jump in with your own counting!"

So here we go ... {FYI, this will be an ongoing list - there is no way I'd have time to write out 1000 gifts today!}

2. two vibrant, healthy, little girls
3. my mom
4. my in laws
5. our extended family
6. a warm home
7. a {new to us} car
8. good doctors

"Oh give thanks to the Lord for He is good, for His love endures forever!" Psalm 118:1
