impressed

getting involved in a project with people you don't know it great.  it expands your horizons. 

as i have been working on my quilt, i have been watching other peoples progress, checking their flickr accounts, reading their blogs.  learning, growing.  there are a lot of nifty ladies out there. so inspiring.  so busy.

this evening i ran across a blog by a retired woman.  she indicated that she makes quilts to give to charities and that her husband was a retired clergyman.  the part that i was most impressed with was at the end of each of her posts she would state 2 or 3 things she was grateful for that day under the heading of "gratitudes".  every post something different was written.  i soon found myself scrolling down, not paying attention to her quilting or blog entries, but reading her "gratitudes". 

how inspiring.

i made a comment on her blog tonight and told her she was such a good example of having a grateful heart.  i also told her i was going to follow her example and add something new to a "gratitudes" section on my blog.  

{i have created a little running list on the right hand side that, as the days go by, will get filled with things that i am grateful for in my life.}  

thanks stranger lady.  you made my day.
