Given it is the beginning of a new fiscal year, I’ve decided to start it off right by keeping better track of my blessings here on this blog.  That way when this time rolls around in 2015, I’ll be able to point to the books and prove just how rich my life is.

Today also happens to be my Mama’s 65th birthday so I’ve dragged her along for this month’s social experiment. Every day in July we are going to call each other and share ten reasons we love our lives.  I will transcribe them here.

1. I ❤ Claudia

4. I ❤ Amy
5. I ❤ Emma
6. I ❤ Jake
7. I ❤ Milo

Amy's List:

1. I ❤ Gracie and Couscous for getting along so well

5. I ❤ telecommuting

10. I ❤ the fun I've been having with some new photography and art apps.
