Well, I can now say with tremendous satisfaction, that I saw this project through to completion. What a great experience it was to track our family each day of the week, for 12 months. Now we have a year captured and will be able to enjoy looking over it in the years to come. But I must say that I'm relieved that it's over, as it took some diligence and dedication.
FYI - Becky Higgins has created another project if you're interested. It's called Project Life. Did I get one? Nope. As much as I wanted one, I resisted. I'm embarking on another project of sorts. The Thousand Gifts. Since first hearing about it, it's peaked my curiosity. I thought now would be a great time to start recording all that we are grateful for in each of our lives. We will take this on as a family project, working together to record the gifts of the Father. I've purchased a simple journal for us to record each gift and my hope would be to surpass 1,000! Without a doubt, if we look at life through eyes of gratitude, I'm convinced that our perspectives will change and our hearts will overflow with thankfulness for all that we've received through our loving Father's hand.
I will not be creating a new blog for this project. However, that doesn't mean I won't be sharing a gift here and there on our family blog.
Thanks for joining us this past year as we documented our life - one day at a time!

congratulations lisa!... you did really good and accomplished this project, and I, for one, enjoyed following along with you. i think your new family project... recording the gifts of our Lord! is a great idea, one that we could ALL take on as a project, maybe not on paper but in our hearts.. rcalling daily those things He blesses us with. would surely make for a thankful heart!
be not on paper) but in our minds, the Lord's constant and daily gifts to us
