Your list makes me smile! I have so enjoyed reading Ann's book, it has really helped me out of my depression...just can't be depressed when giving thanks! Have to admit that when I visited Joplin last weekend, I was struggling to find grace and gratitude....still working on that one. Have a blessed weekend!
Ah I have missed these. I really don't want to see one thousand come. Your list acknowledges life's pleasures we too often take for granted.
You have inspired me to start listing my blessings along with my daily bible study. what a great way to give thanks for things we might otherwise take for granted! Thank you!
So many wonderful blessings!
Books in a series...me too!
Gotta have good sharp scissors!
I always love reading about your 1000 blessings. You make me smile.... and can I get in line for one of those chair massages?
Have a great weekend. Hugs, Lura
Those are wonderul items with which to be blessed. Enjoy and keep sharing.
Your list is really great and I so enjoyed my visit here today..
Been missing you and wanted to catch up with how you are doing.
Hope you continue with the list after a 1000
Love

Wow, you are getting really close to the 1000 mark. Will you go on to the next 1000?
Thanks for being so faithful to your list. I've started a Thankful Thursday on my blog, hope I can be as faithful as you have been to yours.
fun read. oh, i love bread.
I just had to smile at 849. I see you have had a run on series.
Sharpened pencils! Me too. We rarely have enough. I bought an expensive sharpener, but to no avail. Alas, the cheapie hand-held ones keep us in our lead!
Thanks for stopping by. I pray your summer filled with many moments of beauty and grace.
