"Small Blessings" project - an introduction.

"Every day is filled with little gifts called small blessings.  These are the simple pleasures that bring joy and meaning to our lives and yet often go unnoticed in the hectic pace of day - to-day life."

So begins the book, "Small Blessings" by Erica Becker.  It's a rather simple book, really - each page spread has a simple water color picture or design with a  simple, everyday blessings. phrases like a day at the fair, a clear dark night, changing seasons.  

It would be really simple to just read the book, think, "Wow, that's nice." and move on.  But, that would miss the author's objective in bringing the reader to a fuller experience of the blessings we have all around us.

What I have challenged myself to do is to dig deeper into the book, to use each page as a  starting point for a personal blog.  I may not be able to cover a page a day.  I don't want to set deadlines, and rush entries just to say I am on task.  Rather,  I want the prompts to sink in, and to reflect on the importance each has on my life, and to write a quality blog.  

I welcome your comments, and invite you to take on the challenge for yourself as well.
