If the heights of our joy are measured by the depths of our gratitude, and gratitude is but a way of seeing, a spiritual perspective of smallness might offer a vital way of seeing especially conducive to gratitude.

Tracie, thank you for reminding us to look at the small gifts in life…and to appreciate them. We all have so much to be thankful for…not just at this time of the year but in all the small moments that make up a year…and a life. God blesses you…just as you bless us with your wisdom.
Beautiful list, Tracie!

tracie, thank you so much for the brick for emily. beautiful. truly.
I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
