Eucharisteo

In the middle of feeling sorry for myself, I remembered a book I started in April when I needed it... however I think it was too soon for me to appreciate it and really let it sink in. So in a nut shell I am starting my "list". Not my bucket list or to do list (although I have plenty of those). It's my Eucharisteo List. From the book One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp. My Thanksgiving List. (no not the pilgrims and Indians) Goal is to reach 1000....or to just keep going really forever. Yikes, now I have put it out there and really have to do it. Errr shall I say get to do it?!

1. dirty little knees
2. forgiving a wrong
3. being forgiven
4. God's beautiful creation of an evening breeze...it's like feeling the world blow past you and away
5. "squeezes" from Cape

7. sweet little one all snuggled up for bed
8. "one more" little goodnight hugs and kisses
