Why would I start this, when it already seems like I don't have any free time? I'm not sure. I managed to fit the gym into my schedule 5 times a week, so maybe I'll make this a priority, too. I enjoy reading Lisa's, so I'm stealing her idea.
I wonder if anyone else remembers when Oprah did a few shows with Sara Ban Breathnach, the author of Simple Abundance and Something More. I hardly ever catch Oprah's show, but the day I saw her talk with Sara, it was like a light bulb went on in my head. Around that time (1998?) was when Oprah began her "gratitude journal." I'm thinking that one purpose of my blog will be to keep my own gratitude journal. So, in addition to journaling, which is something I've always found beneficial for me, I'm going to include the people and things I'm grateful for having in my life.
Freddie's running a fever today, so my arms are full even as I'm typing. It's a good thing preschool doesn't start until next week.
Today I'm grateful for: two strong arms to hold my kids when they're sick
Fall is officially here...I woke up to this sky the other morning, went outside to breathe in the cool air and snap this photo. It was simply glorious!

Jen! I'm THRILLED that you've started blogging. It's addicting, so I'm looking forward to reading what's on your mind. I love your idea about keeping a "grateful journal." It will remind me to keep focused on what's really important.
