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.

4. clean teeth

i visited the dentist today (for the first time in five years...oops) and i remembered how thankful i am for clean teeth. after getting them scraped ) scrubbed, i love how smooth they feel, and how you can feel each individual tooth. i am thankful for the simple pleasures like this, when a little something like smooth teeth puts a smile on your face. :)
