I absolutely adored this book! When I first got it, I gobbled it up in 2 days and then began to read it again, slowly and more thoughtfully. Ive been in the habit of keeping a grateful journal for a few years now, so I was excited that this was the topic of the book. Some days I can only think of 5 or 10 things, but having read this book, I bet I can think of much more now!

This is a Christian themed book, so may not appeal to everyone, but if you can walk outside and see the beauty of a gorgeous sunset, or the miracle of a butterfly, I think youll appreciate this book!

The author is a writer, living on a farm with her husband and 6 children. Shes super busy, but finds the time and the scriptural basis for thanking God for everything. Shes very descriptive and quotes scripture as she herself learns what it means to give thanks and leads us on our own (hopefully!) journey. I enjoyed the ride and learned a lot! Im not quite ready to let this book go but I hope to soon!
