March 15, 2011 at 6:48 pmhi amy…i’m new to your blog and have been so touched and blessed by your story. what a lovely woman you are…with an even lovelier heart! 1000 gifts is a book i’ve been wanting to get for a while now, especially after i read the first chapter – totally spoke to me! and thanks for giving us a peek into YOUR 1000 gifts ~ i’m sure i’m not the only one who’d love to see more!
when you have a moment, you might want to take a look at this http://rebekahgough.blogspot.com/p/ten-on-ten-photo-project.html it’s not a link to my blog, it’s something else and not health related (at least not in a physical way) but i think you might like it; just for kicks.

March 14, 2011 at 7:02 pmYou are so good at finding even the littlest thing to be grateful for. I always forget that. No matter what there will be another week to notice more things to be grateful for. I just have to stop thinking that I am wrong about what I am grateful for. Silly uh..? Hope you have a good week.
