Thank you to my friends Amber and Chrissy for inspiring me to join in 'Multitude Mondays'. You can read more about what it is here, but simply it's writing down daily all the things you're thankful for until you reach 1,000.
I will be posting these every Monday until then. Hoping it will transform my half-empty type of attitude into gratefulness.
I am thankful...
