Start #1: Gifts 845...

Joy Dare - Dare You!
A Gift Sung, A Gift Written, A Gift Painted

845. The many birds I heard singing today as they devoured the fruit of an overgrown pomegranate tree.
846. The raw words, emotions expressed by Ann Voskamp.
847. The 9 horseshoes painted today by Lily and her fellow Daisies at a Girl Scout outing.


848. A fun, beautiful day at Krazy Horse Ranch, Black Canyon City, AZ with an equally fun, beautiful, group of girls.

849. Being surrounded by nature, horses, and sunshine all day today.


850. Witnessing an intimate moment shared between  a girl (my Lily) and her horse (for today) Snickers as they said goodbye.

851. Hearing from a dear friend that the time has come for her to be on her own, at the brink of the next chapter in her life.  So very excited for her to have arrived at this destination and ready for the next journey.

852. Seeing another friend able to release, a much needed release, in the comfort of good friends.

853. So much quiet in the house, and a gorgeous AZ night, so peaceful that I can hear the crickets chirping outside through the patio screen door.

  1. 846. Looking forward to talking about the book with you!

    everything sounds so beautiful where you live. I hung on to all the descriptions of desert scenes and sounds of warmth & blooming to get me through the chills of winter.

  2. I keep thinking of you as I'm reading the book! The desert is a magical place right now, everything in bloom, and I will surely be thinking of you getting to play in lakes in WI when the temps heat up this summer here:)
