But don't you feel alive when you notice things.
It's like taking stock of the small details and not letting them pass... well, unnoticed.
Recently I read "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" which was such a great novel I could dedicate a whole post to it, but for today I was reminded of a scene where Francie, the protagonist, tries to capture a moment in her memory; to freeze it forever and store it away.
She starts to try to really notice all the things around her, from the way her shoes feel on her feet to the smells in the air.
Today I couldn't help walking around my house doing the same thing.
Of course that naturally led me into taking stock of the things I am grateful for today and everyday, and having been inspired a while ago, by my friend Breanne and the blog of Anne Voskamp I thought I'd share some of the noticed things, and start my list of a 1000 things I am truly grateful for:
Today, I noticed....
