To be honest, as I drove around today, the air felt fresher, the leaves looked brighter, the mountains appeared more majestic. Is it possible that after 30 days of giving thanks, my vision has improved? Perhaps it is less about beholding the beauty in the world and more about recognizing the giver of all this beauty. To be truly grateful, of every little thing in my life, is to understand that (as Ann Voskamp explains) "All is Grace." To see grace in the sparkle and grime of life, this is what my November journal has taught me.</div></div>Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12859620651816168803noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-819569823285194308.post-85309345079799469852011-11-30T23:28:00.004-05:002011-12-01T00:02:57.344-05:00Gratitude Journal, Day 29<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jNuf5B24cvg/TtcDfcd_izI/AAAAAAAADK4/mXGWQ54TjkM/s1600/Connell-36.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jNuf5B24cvg/TtcDfcd_izI/AAAAAAAADK4/mXGWQ54TjkM/s400/Connell-36.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681013293703990066" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family:Arial;font-size:medium;">"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.
