    Happy Birthday, Gussy! I’m thankful for so much, it’s hard to pick just one this morning – but I’m gonna have to go with the fact that we serve a creative God. He could’ve just set the world in motion and called it “good,” but He poured His creative heart into His work, into His creation, into us! And now as image-bearers, we get to reflect that creativity back in what we make, what we write, what we do, and even in how we interact with others! How wonderful that we’re not robots – so, yes – I’m thankful for God’s creative heart and mind!

    I am most thankful for my husband bc even when I’m snappy he still comes alongside me and helps me to fold the mounds of clean clothes. Really, he is infinitely patient and because I don’t handle stress well and usually do get sharp, he hangs in there anyway. This quietness is a better reminder to check my attitude more than any yelling would be.

I apologize if my post doesn’t make a lot of sense, but the baby was up 4 times last night & I’m waiting for the coffee to be ready. But all the hard work, lack of sleep, extra 30 lbs, fingerprints on my fridge & someone’s ABC’s written on my bedsheets (we won’t name names, but I know who it was!) … it’s all worth it for one little hug & whispered “I love you mommy”

    Happy Birthday Gussy from New Zealand!!!!
    I love your daily inspiration and seeing you achieve your goals – and sharing in your love-filled life. I’m thankful for realising at 36 that my life wasn’t what I wanted and having the courage to leave a bad marriage and having the strength to create the inspired life I dreamed of. Now at 39 I cherish each day, my daughter, my craft time and my little beach cottage.
    I’d love to share your birthday gifts – way down here on the other side of the world we don’t have anything as gorgeous and RUFFLED like your bags and purses. Please put my name down for gift three – we don’t get the gorgeous mag here either and I’d love to be inspired by it.
    Much love and blessings
    x Niki

    Happy Birthday!

    I’m thankful for my family and closest friend. My life has been a spinning circus on a wheel the past few months. One thing after another and nothing has gone right. If it weren’t for my family and friend with support and advice I’d be a wreck.

    I am thankful that our furnace died in July with only the AC to lose and not in January when we could have died from noxious fumes.

    oops totally commented on the WRONG post ha! Thats what I get for getting all uber excited and clicking around like a mad woman.

    Ok, take 2: I am grateful for my contacts–they allow me to see to make pretty lil thangs. Let’s be honest, the world needs more pretty lil thangs in it right? Right.
