Invitation for My Readers

"How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction."

". . .I have an appetite to celebrate - yes, let us eat cake! . . .to pick armfuls of poppies, to hold a heart up against me, stronger, surer, to sit long with my mama in the last of afternoon sunlight. 'Wherever you are, be all there' is only possible in the posture of eucharisteo. I want to slow down and taste life, give thanks, and see God."

I'm reading this book again and am being so blessed by it. My dear friend, who I call "Miss Wonderful," gave me a gratitude journal for Christmas that I absolutely LOVE. So, rereading this book and writing down my own One Thousand Gifts is such a delightful and enriching way to start out my year.

Dear Readers, I invite each of you to join me in this celebration of gratitude! :)
