One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

My little one, stuck in her room for the day learning the hard lessons of life, practices gratitude. She sneaks down the stairs, knowing she should not be out of her room, but can’t help herself. She has a hand full of gratitude to share. A “blog post” and “poem.” “May I share it on your blog, Mom?”

May she?

I’m Thankful For My Ipod Shuffle
Last birthday when I was 8 turning eight I got to go shopping with my grandma Kathy! On And on our birthday our grandma gives us money to spend on stuff, so I decided “I should get a ipod!” So me and my grandma went over to the ipods! I really wanted to get a blue one because that was my favorite color but they were out of the blue ones. 🙁 So there was I think there was pink, orang, (my sister got an orange one) or green and you know which one I boght? Pink because it is my 3rd favorite color! I was so happy and it even came with headphones. I think I made a good choice. If I didn’t get an ipod I wouldn’t be listening to music as much! I have been lisening to a lot of songs. It makes me happy. I {heart} my ipod. Thank you, Grandma!

Poem

Ipods are fun,
in the sun they shine like the stars.

You can get them and listen to them everywhere.

Save your money, go to itunes, get more music.
Trust me, you will use it everywhere.

What a beautiful poem and a wonderful post. She will probably follow in her momma’s footsteps. And I am going to start a list of grace right this moment. I need this! Thank you again, Amy. You don’t know me, but I’ve spent a lot of time learning about you. Thank you for sharing. Oh I can’t wait. The first thing on the list will be your inspiration to start it.
