Many of you know Margie from Latebloomerbuds. She and her friend Gail have a lovely new site. I look forward to their creative posts. Their new blog is called Artfully ours . . . a journey between friends.

Awhile ago I read Ann Voskamp’s book, One Thousand Gifts. I began a gratitude journal, though have not been consistent, since I record so many blessings here. I thought I’d continue now, and so here are two more blessings, on my way to one thousand . . . and then beginning again by God’s grace.
426.
I sit and watch the green leaves
they won’t be green
forever
427.
Watch the shift
to August
I so love
(be sure to)
Blessings, Ellen
UPDATE, July 30, 2014 – I found an old notebook. Had counted to 425 blessings when I paused. So re-numbered this post: beginning again with 426 (not 351, as stated before).
