As I stumble through each day...
Doing the daily things...
The things that so abundantly fill my world...
The things that I so often take for granted...
I realize...
This journey that I am on... that I travel each day of my life... no matter how mundane or ordinary...
Is precious...
The bounty of experiences...
The people... places... sounds... sights... feelings...
The struggles... heartaches... disappointments...
They all are a part of me...
They are a precious gift...
My heart overflows with the abundance of treasures that fill my life.
OH MY GOODNESS. This is gorgeous.
You are Love.
I like your Blog Your Journal page. This whole post is just beautiful.
Thank you for the reminder.
Love, S

Jill...You are a wise woman. I love your art journal page and how you are able to express yourself. I think I finally came up with my word for the year. Perseverance. Now I need to do a journal page with it. :) You really inspire me and I'm sure so many others with your blog.

Beautiful Banner! The colors are so real. It is hard to believe those petals are hanging on after all the cold snow and wicked winds have challenged its ability to stay, at least a while longer! Amazing!
Your Journal page tells me to look at all of it! The green growth of a loving heart is ABUNDANT in its simpicity. XOX, Mom

Great photo, wonderful art. It's been such fun to join the Crusade and see what everyone else has done. Reminds me of my school years when the teacher used to say, "pencils down" and everyone began to share! Thanks for sharing.
