I love your list! I just started counting last week so we'll count together! :)
Blessings to you!

Hi Kara! Your heart of gratitude overflowed the banks with this list. I especially like #8 - having parented children to adulthood, I can say that your words are truth!
I enjoy the fact that you are in a walkable world!
May the joy that bubbled forth in your list spill out on everyone you touch this week.
