thankful

Here's the deal...I don't go around snapping pictures for this post because I am in a constant mode of thankfulness. I wish!  Rather, I take the pictures because I don't want to forget the memories. 

     It is in the "looking back" that I discover just how blessed I really am. 

     I want to be thankful for each moment the Lord blesses me with and sharing those things with you helps me do that! 

         

 I AM THANKFUL FOR....
