{grateful heart - open heart}

thursday: thanksgiving holiday

friday: shared coffee -- when physically alone, but find your heart connected with another's

saturday: frequent flier miles

sunday: the first sunday in a season of waiting

monday: unexpected phone calls -- when you really don't like what is spoken

tuesday: still being deeply loved -- it's the still part that i'm most thankful for and moved by, because i simply do not understand why

wednesday: the ability i have to create a nest out of pillows and blankets, then crawl in and find rest

i do... i am...

...much.

the journey for this year will be a little different from last year. instead of a photograph each day, i have chosen to share seven different parts of my daily life. things that i enjoy doing and ways in which i spend my days. activities that give to me pleasure and activities that challenge me. i may post a single word or a picture, a link to click on or story. you may find a recipe or even an invitation to join me for a meal. the only thing that i can guarantee is it will unfold one day at a time.

and right now, that's what i am able to handle: one single day.

{allowing the next day wait for my arrival.}

on wednesdays i will share a link to a blog that i write with two others and one day i will continue with 3-6-5 self from last year, by posting a self portrait. i will share how i worship and am physically active, my time in the kitchen and how i play. if you will, join me in resting and problem solving and worshiping.

What's next?

I'm not exactly sure. I have been thinking and have a few ideas. Most likely I will have my mind made up by 1 December. So, if you are a secret stalker or a not so secret stalker, check back and see.

Oh and if you want to join me this year, hosting and participating on your own 365 blog, please do. Let's talk and maybe at the end of the year we could have a dinner party to celebrate. Just an idea.
