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.

29. warm showers in the morning

so often, one of the few things that get me out of bed early in the morning is the comforting thought of the warm shower that is ahead. it is so nice to allow my muscles to soak in the warm, hard, downpour of water from the faucet. i am so thankful to be able to not only take a shower on a daily basis, but a warm one at that.
