It has been so wonderful to take time to think about my blessings each day this year even if it was behind sometimes. Gratitude really does bring peace and happiness. This next year of 2009 I will still be recording my daily blessings but in a little bit of a different way. Even though this past year I know I probably repeated some of the same blessings even though I tried really hard not to, I'm not going to worry about not repeating the same blessings. Also, this new year I will just be recording my daily blessings on my sidebar under the heading My Daily Tender Mercies of the Lord instead of my regular posts. I'm also not limiting my blessings to one each day. I'm so grateful or the principle of gratitude!
