  • Practicing Gratitude {1081 – 1092}

    I’m continuing to count beyond one-thousand gifts… A new photo of me and Ken (thanks to Lindsey); one or the other of us — or both — are usually behind the camera, so photos of the two of us together are few and far between. Spring showers — when NOT accompanied by tornadoes. The scary,…
