The Bright Side

Many years in the A-Z Blog Challenge I've used Saturdays to make a list of 20 small blessings I'm grateful for that begin with the letter of the day. It felt good to hit pause long enough to consider the little (and sometimes not so little) things I appreciate, and I'm going to try that exercise again today. 

Yes I know it's Friday but I have a post for Saturday written in my head. 

My theme this month has been The Things We Keep and an attitude of gratitude is something I want to live with always. In no particular order here goes-


Day 21- U is for Unending Gratitude

unconditional love
an umbrella in the car on a rainy day
unique landscapes 
coffee sipped on an uninterrupted quiet morning
unselfish behavior
the comfort of God's unchanging Word
a flight upgrade
upbeat friends
the USA
unbroken promises
unexpected opportunities
user friendly instructions
understanding
unwinding on the porch 
a knot untied
understated fashion 
unabashed joy 
unhurried time
God's grace in times of uncertainty
unobstructed views

  5. Great list Joyce. I laughed at the umbrella in the car on a rainy day. We always have an umbrella in the car, in fact one car we bought came with its own umbrella. Phew, we're nearly there!
