365 Days of Gratitude Day 365

Well folks, this is the final Gratitude of 365 Returns.......I have held off writing this one as I wanted to take some time with it.

First and foremost, I am Grateful for this early am to start this one and my pup is leaning on me, wanting me to rub her belly with my feet and this makes me laugh and smile......what an epic way to start the day!

I am very Grateful to have had the ability and platform to do this project again.  When I think back upon the year and all the truly wonderful little things like the above and the big things that we have to be Grateful for, it warms my heart.

If you wrap it all up in a bow and look at the common denominators of Gratitude, in my opinion, it boils down to family, friends, community and nature..........all of the little and big things usually start with that.

The little things grow into the big things........maybe my next project will be working on my smallstepsbigthings blog.

I would be remiss if I did not say I am Grateful to amazon for giving me more time to do stuff like this and less time to be out getting life’s necessities, google for providing the blog platform and access to infinite information, apple for the ease of use device to type on and connect and take amazing pictures with my phone (those may seem like stupid things to be grateful for, however, I have found them instrumental in traversing through and making life easier, more accessible, approachable, fun and providing a world of opportunities and connections at ones fingertips)

These have all made it possible to allow me on a broader scale to keep in touch with family, friends, community and nature :-)

This 365 Days have seen so many great things have happened.......I am Grateful for them all :):):)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
