Day 73: 3 gifts from my window

Today I'm having a hard time with gratefulness, that is with pinning something down that I feel truly grateful for. So I am using Ann Voscamp's November Joy Dares as my guide.

It's like taking a deep breath of good air and letting my lungs fill to capacity instead of taking the normal, small breaths. Gratitude fills me to capacity so I have to exhale it toward others.

1) Clear blue skies
2) Leaves that have fallen and are dancing along the ground
3) Watching my redheaded wonders walk into their schools
