I like my freebies. A lot.

So, when 2011 was coming to an end, I made sure I kept my eyes out for free calendar offers for 2012. And, because of my tendency to forget what or how many I requested, I ended up with several extra 2012 calendars laying around on my desk.

I had also been reading and re-reading One Thousand Gifts over the 2nd half of 2011 and really wanted to be more aware and more thankful for the little things each day that God provides and blesses with me.

So, one of those new calendars found a home next to my bed. Each night, before I turn off the light, I fill that day's square with 3-5 things that blessed me during that 24 hour period. In the month of January, I ended up listing over 120 things! *big smile*

At that rate, I'll have over 1400 things by the end of 2012! I think Ann Voskamp would be proud! :)
