I have so much to be thankful for. I’m learning that over and over again every day as I am going through this process of writing down 1000 gifts. Although…. I’ve also realized that I’ve probably already received 1000 gifts since I started…I’ve just not noticed them all or written them all down. Now that I am over a quarter of the way through I read back through all of them. It was fun to see what comes up a lot (my husband and son for sure).
