Perhaps my greatest thanks was that I kept forgetting to write down my blessings. A strange thing to be thankful for, certainly. I realized that giving thanks all day has become so natural that I'm forgetting to write it down. I am grateful for this spiritual discipline which is becoming habit in my life. I still want to make these altars to God's goodness (and so I am grateful for my husband who gently reminds me to write down what I voice out loud) for myself for the future and to encourage others along the way.
