Michelle, how wonderful to wake up to find your list of what you are grateful for. It makes me think twice about how I want to live this day. Your dog looks like he is finding fall. Did you think about writing for the Finding Fall Gallery. I would love for you to express your perspective in photo and poem. Perhaps, your dog would like to be the model for the activity. This photo allows for the reader to reflect on what beauty is lying outside the window.

ReplyDeleteThank you for writing your list. Reading it reminded me of many things I could have added to my list. !00 doesn't seem so big after all.
