blogging
new friends
great books
second graders
Jeffrey's new job
sitting by the fireplace
two jobs in unsteady times
a trip to Disney this time last year
a pretty, cozy house that we can afford
a big backyard with a hammock and swing set. cows and barns just over the fence
a happy, healthy daughter. tucked in bed, sleeping sweetly
receiving and giving compassion
living on a budget and saving, too
the perfect ice. found only at Sonic
so many plays and Broadway shows
dreams I made come true. for myself, on my own. for others, just because.
dreams others made come true for me. for love.
feeling content. really and truly content
having enough. and then some.
you. and you. and you. and YOU.
I saved this image from the Internet a long time ago. I called it Fireplace by Pippa. Who in the world is Pippa? Anyone recognize it? I'd love to give credit.

Lovely list! I agree Sonic has the best ice...I love a cherry limeade on a hot day (or cold).
Dear Relyn,
Happy new year to you and your loved ones. Thanks for dropping by to wish me Merry Xmas on my blog right on Xmas day, which must have been a very happy, busy, crazy one.
All the very best for 2009 and in life!
Warm wishes
Lubna

Relyn:
I so love your "Welcome" message.
RE: Ice, Quik Trip (gas station) has the BEST ice. ;)
Dear Relyn, to you and your family I wish also all the best for the new year, which - I hope - will be filled with sunshine and joy! These last months I didn´t visit very much other blogs (I mostly did it during the night :)), just because of lacking time and all the work in our house. But I hope to be back soon.
That picture with your husband and daughter is very pretty. I would like to have such a photo with my little family, but sometimes I need more courage to go to a professional photostudio :)
I don´t know where the picture on top of your post comes from, but it looks comfortable and cosy.
Love and greetings, Marjolijn
Happy New Year my darling friend.
2009 will be fine.

Relyn: Hello! I left you a comment about the "perfect layouts" my 1.1.09 blog entry. You are Miss R. ;) The LOs do not have to be perfect; they just have to symbolize your rich life.
I've started working on my album. If you would like some pointers, please let me know!
I posted my Day 1 photo.
Go shoot some pics!

Relyn,
What a great list of blessings!
Peace to you and yours in 2009!
Great picture down below!

Angelica
And of course... YOU*
At the end of the day, or the season, or the year... how incredibly comforting to know you are here, a friend who needn't even be close by, yet always resides in a corner of my heart.
Dear Relyn,
finding you, and feeling connected to you as a sister and an artist and a weaver of dreams, is a beautiful thing indeed.
You were a gift in the late waning days of 2008 that I shall carry with me into 2009... i feel so blessed to call you *friend*
xoxoxo
The photo looks so cozy especially on chilly winter nights. I love your blessing list. Happy New Year to you and your family!
I love lists also as you could tell. This is a wonderful list of blessings and I loved how you creatively wrote them on the page for visual effect. I have had many blessings as well!
Hi, visiting from perfectly-imperfect...I read http://pippasporch.wordpress.com/ and believe that this may be the Pippa you are looking for...she takes excellent pictures and has a lovely blog. I have enjoyed my visit here and will visit again! My word for this year is believe and I just posted on it today :)
Dear Relyn,
A lovely, lovely, wholesome, dreamy list and so beautiful too. Keep wishing on those stars so all your dreams come true!
Happy New Year!
Oh dear Relyn...you have a beautiful way of inspiring me to see gratitude in everything...no matter how small the thing.
I always leave your fireside feeling hopeful and content and full of thanks for the many gifts in my life.
YOU are one such gift.
Love you

Relyn, I clicked on your label "a habit of gratitude" because I simply want to dwell in gratitude. I love counting my blessings and wallowing in contentment, even when I have to seek it out of a day full of discontent. So to read your lists of gratitude and blessings is so uplifting. I've been wanting to do a post like this, and you've inspired me to do it sooner rather than later. I think positivity and finding the good in all things, even crap days, is contagious and causes others to stop their negative thinking. You are a gem!
