WOW! This is a tough one today. There are so many memories I’m grateful for, I don’t even know how to begin to choose. I’ve rattled through so many as I’ve pondered today’s challenge. That in and of itself is something I’m grateful for. Today’s challenge prompt has sent me back to many places, events,…… Continue reading 30 Day Gratitude Challenge: Day 7 –
