One Thousand Gifts - Week Twenty-Seven

Can you believe that in less than a week, 2011 will be a memory and we'll be starting a brand new year? It really does seem that the older I get, the faster time flies. Don't you agree?

It's been a busy, crazy week but there's so much to be thankful for, which is why I'm counting blessings today with Ann Voskamp and her followers. Today I'm especially grateful for:
131. Yet another week of beautiful weather here in the midwest. Still no snow - although we've had quite a bit of rain and today there's a beautiful hard frost covering the ground;
132. Family and friends, including those scattered all over the world, the ones I connect with through the box on my desk (my computer) or the phone in my hand - that means you!;
133. The means to give loved ones everything on their Christmas wish list;
134. A day off to catch up on cleaning and laundry and, yes, napping, before going back to work tomorrow;
135. The fact that Christmas is over and we can get back to the business of normal, everyday living.
How were YOU blessed this week, Friend? I'd love it if you'd share your gift list with me in comments below!

Oh! One more thing! I'll be away from the blog most of this week, but on Friday I have a big announcement to make! Please, please come back and see me that day so you can hear my good news!
