over the past few years, i have followed various friends projects, documenting 365 days of pictures or the first year of baby's life, or maybe a month of songs. i have questioned doing such things, and have thought about what a commitment it would take and of course how it would be hard without say an iphone to document them. but i have been doing some thinking lately, and more than memories or songs, i want my life to be marked by certain qualities. as i was thinking about this, the word gratitude came to mind. as i was beginning to write this, i flipped over to webster.com for a dictionary definition of the word, and my heart jumped for joy: "gratitude: the state of being thankful" wow. so for the next year (in addition to many other things) i want to strive for this quality. i want to live in a way of gratitude.

1. coffee

it might sound trivial, but on days like today, after not getting much sleep, coffee is one thing i am quite thankful for. in the mornings, when i am groggy and foggy, a freshly brewed cup can help me make it through the rest of the day. i like mine black, in a ceramic mug, with whipped cream on top.
as well as a morning pick me up, i am so thankful for sweet moments over coffee with the people i love most- nathan, mom & dad, and my friends.
