Grace in Small Things...

So I'm altering my GIST a bit -- instead of feeling guilty for not getting to it every day, I will simply post my GISTs when I have time :-) I might also post more than 5.

Every day (or as close to that as possible) I will post a list of five (minimum) things that have graced my life, either on that day or at any time in my life.

  1. Seeing Charlotte getting so much healthier and happier
  2. Taco Tuesday at my parents' house
  3. Snuggling with Patrick on cold mornings
  4. Chappy and Centerville sleeping with us even though they stink
  5. Snuggies
