And I'm going to read it again.
Why? Because I want to dare myself to live fully. To be aware, to be present and to be thankful.
I started counting before. counting those little and big blessings but now I'm starting again. starting from # 1 towards 1000.
Join me if your interested on Monday's (or whenever).
