...that resolution obviously failed! I forgot I had even set this blog up!
Now, just because I haven't posted doesn't mean I haven't seen many blessings in the new year. Here we go:
12. A very early spring, with 80° weather in March.
13. A very successful trip to the Craft and Hobby Association convention in January.
14. My first-ever participation in a Flash Mob (CHA, Anaheim 2012)
15. My friends who are participating in an altered book class. We started out with one day a month, then went to two and now are at one day a week with an option to get together more often. We are also discussing hosting an art show at the end of April to show off our creations.
16. The smell of freshly-mowed grass.
17. The scent of early morning rain.
18. My BFFs, Linda Gordon Bradshaw, Jan Horsley Stone and Grady Thurmon.
19. David West who always makes me look as good as I can be.
20. All the youth at our church. I have never seen more talented attractive people in one group in my entire life.
That's enough for now. Hopefully, I won't wait two months before my next post.

New Year, New Blog
Welcome to 2012!
We just finished a Bible study using Ann Voskamp's book, one thousand gifts, which encourages us to be thankful for the small gifts we sometimes take for granted. (Check out her blog at http://www.aholyexperience.com)
Last night, January 1, I began making a short list of my blessings. I decided that I would post them here, so that I can easily maintain the list and anyone reading it would be able to see it clearly, considering my atrocious handwriting.
Here goes, in no particular order:
1. My husband Larry and son Michael.
2. Good friends.
3. Our home.
4. Our comfy giant chair that is on it's last leg.
5. The scent of freshly baked bread.
6. Our sweet pups, Pete, the Speckle-butted Monster and Sam, the Wonder Lab
7. Bill and Shannon Cox, who lead our church family and teach by being good examples of the way we should all live.
8. Fresh composition books just waiting for me to fill with journaling.
9. Color and the ability to see and process it. How can anyone stand before a beautiful sunset and not know there is God?
10. Even though I am 62, I am agile enough to bend over and pick up things from the ground.
11. My God-given ability to make art.
If I add three blessings a day, I will hit 1,000 quickly. Some days will have more blessings than others, but I will do my best to post every day.
Wishing you and your family a very blessed 2012!
