Ever just feel like talking but not have anything in
particular to say? Happens to me all the time. Last night I celebrated one of
my best friends 21st birthdays and today class was cancelled because
I live in a snowglobe that some annoying kid won’t stop shaking. The groundhog
lied, that’s all there is to it. Despite this awful snow and wind that seems
will be here until I leave for Italy in May, I have been in the best mood ever
for the last few days. Sometimes you just need to get away and I think my trip
to Greenville, SC last weekend did me a world of good. As much as I love Boone,
a little weekend getaway is always an easy fix to come back feeling rejuvenated
and ready to take on another week in this snowy little town.
I mentioned in a previous blog post that I have read Ann
Voskamp’s One Thousand Gifts and accepted the challenge to make my own
list of one thousand gifts in my life. What I thought would be hard turned out
to be ridiculously easy and I found myself constantly thinking about and
focusing on the blessings in my life. So, today I thought I’d share just a few
of them with you.
454. Footprints on freshly fallen snow
455. A warm cup of coffee in my hands while I walk
through the snow to class
456. Singing at the top of my lungs on long drives
457. How peaceful children look when they’re sleeping
458. The love my Momma puts into the food she cooks and
cakes she bakes
459. The unfailing love Grayson reassures me of every day
460. The excitement of planning for the future
461. Knowing that even if my plans don’t work out, God
has me in the palm of His hand and will work everything together for good
462. Heart-to-heart talks with good girlfriends
463. Getting mail
464. Writing
465. A scripture I’ve memorized in the past popping into
my mind right when I need it
