52 Blessings Challenge

Last year Flickr ran a group that was titled "52 Blessings."

Basically, it was a collection of pictures of the blessings in your life.

The challenge was to take a photo each week of something that is a blessing. I thought it was a cool idea. I went and checked it out and there are some very awesome, unique, and totally unexpected blessings out there.

Like I said, "Very Cool." In fact so cool, I'm going to do it this year. I'm going to start my own, "52 Blessings Challenge." If you want to join feel free. All I ask is that you leave a comment so that I can link back to your, "52 Blessings," post. Let me know each week you update it, and I will keep a list of all the current weeks post below my, "52 Blessings Button."

Technically, speaking today is the last day of the first week of the year. Which is why when I post the pic below I am still in the clear for week one.

I don't require you to sign up for the long hall. Just do what you can when you can. I can't wait to see some of the blessings that are part of all your lives.

That being said here is my pictures for Week One.

These are pictures of my bumper. Exciting right? Anyway, as you can see short of being dirty, there is nothing wrong with my bumper. Even after getting into my first accident. I found out today that the other car is going to cost $800.00 to fix. Sucks! However, I feel it is a huge blessing that I have no damage to my vehicle.

So my first blessing of the year, a non-dented, all be it dirty, bumper.

Where are the pics of the car you backed into? I want to see ripped metal and paint scratches! All Joking Aside, I'm very grateful that you and yours were not hurt. Accidents can be so scary. Congrats on being such a safe driver that this is your 1st and only accident.

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. It is always nice to take time out and spend time with family and enjoy each others company. I am looking forward more than I can say to our Thanksgiving break. I wrapped up my diversity class good, bad, or indifferent it is done. YAY! Reflections is all but done. This year we had 130 projects submitted three years ago when I started as the Reflection chick we had 9 projects submitted. It almost brought me to tears seeing all the kids projects and their creativity. So very awesome and soooo much work. The economy is looking a tiny bit better and it looks like we may get a little good news in the coming months. That will be a welcome break. All in all I have to say things are looking up. Which brings me to my thought for the day "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy My greatest hope for this holiday season is that I can live by the spiri...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
