"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” ~ Elliot Erwitt

One Thousand Gifts
One particularly difficult day in this sometimes complex and challenging life of mine, I was looking for comfort, encouragement, inspiration and wisdom (via Google). I came across a book which I believe everyone should read. It's called "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp.

I read the first chapter and decided I had to buy a copy - NOW! The challenge is to list 1000 gifts, things you are grateful for. Sound easy? Some may say "No problems!". But for me, with all the "negatives" of chronic ill health, family circumstances and constant difficulties, it has been a challenge to look beyond those things that could pull me down and find the blessings in my life - big and small.
