Grace in Small Things: 4 of 365

1. The house filling up with the smell of rosemary.
2. Sitting with my best friend (in the same room) and talking and just simply "being."
3. Laughing so hard I cry.
4. Making it to the 11th panel of the rock climbing wall.
5. Feeling soreness in my body from an afternoon of very successful climbing.

Grace in Small Things: 2 of 365

1. Henry's big brown eyes winking at me.
2. The smell of Mrs. Meyer's Geranium Hand Soap, it reminds me of my best friend. (A little secret: Once I get back home from visiting her, I always buy whatever hand soap she uses so I can be reminded of what it smells like at her house. awww....)
3. My fresh, new haircut. Ahhh.... at last.
4. Bloody Marys.
5. The smell of cinnamon rolls.

Grace in Small Things: 1 of 365

I found something called "Grace in Small Things" which was started by a blogger with this post explaining the concept. Basically, it is this: Everyday, for a year, list 5 small things that have graced your life, either on that day or at any time in your life. Here is a description of why it exists.

Grace in Small Things exists because we are choosing not to allow the noisiness of life to rob us of the time and energy to be mindful of ourselves and those we love and to recognize the grace that exists in small things.

This seemed like a great project for me, so here goes:

1. Absolute joy in finding the Set Decorators of America website.
2. Finding myself very excited about the magazine, Set Decor.
3. A long, steamy, hot shower.
4. A grey, damp day.
5. Mmmm....chocolate covered jelly rings. You can only get them at Passover.
