COUNTING GIFTS

If you aren't familiar with Ann Voskamp and her book One Thousand Gifts, I highly recommend you check her out here. This page is dedicated to counting my gifts… gratitude for even the small things. I want to, "learn how to be grateful and happy, whether hands full or hands empty." :)
