This morning I was thankful for the sun streaming in the kitchen windows.
This morning I was thankful for medication that regulates my body.
This morning I was thankful for hot tea and the beautiful way the steam dances out of the cup.
This morning I was thankful for a quiet moment to read the paper.
This morning I was thankful for a hot shower.
This afternoon I was thankful to hear Simon reading to Chris.
This afternoon I was thankful for Katie's help in getting ready for a neighborhood garage sale.
This afternoon I was thankful for distractions.
Tonight I was thankful for time.
Tonight I was thankful for dinner out and a glass of wine.
Tonight I was thankful for a walk in the park.
So how's it going out there? You guys hanging in there?
I got a bit of joy today in looking back at my April 2010 Week In The Life Thursday post. It was fun to see what was different and what was the same.

In a world where the moments in our lives can be transformed into art of the everyday, it's important that it reflects our own unique personalities. As a designer, I've teamed up with key companies to develop innovative products and tools for the papercraft industry. This is your creative journey, time to embrace your imperfections - what you'll discover will be wonderful, what you'll discover will be yourself..

Hi Ali, I love your photoz esp the coffee steam. I am so happy to know how you love the sun flare out the window, it's the first thing I check in the kitchen. Thank you for such a great inspiring project. I enjoy taking everyday photos and glad to put them somewhere more solid. Thank you again and here my Thursday post:

Good morning Ali! I look forward to seeing the pictures you capture each day and know you take most of the pic. and use a self-timer but how was the shower shot taken? Enjoy your day.
We have a ledge in our shower that's just about the same height as my shoulders. I used two dry washcloths to hold the camera in place and took two shots (it was really steamy). This is the one I liked the best. It was a bit of a challenge but worth it.

I'm new to your blog and am loving your photos! I love your concept of capturing daily life instead of only the "biggies". I must concentrate on this more.
Something about me? At age 45 I learned Spanish and a few years later I earned another degree with 2 more majors.

I love all the pictures and words today. I am also loving the worksheets you shred for this year. I am getting a lot more documentation down this year as opposed to last year. I am loving just focusing on the pictures and words this week. Thank you.

I am brand new to your blog and am in love with it! Thank you for all the inspiration!

What I love about this Week in the Life, is that you can't help but be happier if you are recognizing, taking note of and feeling gratitude for all the moments in your life. Seventy-five percent of life consists of ordinary, everyday moments. The other twenty-five percent is made up of the most amazing things you can imagine, mixed with a few unexpected jalepenos ... and either can occur in the blink of an eye! :)

Great photos of everyday life. One look at them later will immediately bring back this moment!

What a joy to find your blog. It's a great reminder to enjoy the simple pleasures life offers us each day! And thanks to Tim for sponsoring today 'cause that's how I found you.
Right now I am listening to my dh as he mows the backyard. Music to my ears! He brings me joy every day with all he does for me and shares with me!
Hugs-

I love embracing my many imperfections and making imperfect art. It's liberating to know that whatever I make does not have to be perfect, or even liked by anyone except myself.

Love this concept! I missed starting this week but think I will do it next week. Off to print out the forms you posted...

This is my first year doing this and I am hanging in there. I am learning to embrace the imperfection and ride the wave. Learning how to pay attention to my day and trying not to fret that I'm not doing it "right". Thank you thank you for the inspiration!
