Project 365/2010

i was pretty down in the slump beginning of last year and decided that i would make a list of things i am grateful for. this list is a miracle in several ways. first, that i managed to do it all the way til early august -- never knew that i had that in me :); second, that it lifted my spirit more times than i could remember; third, life is quite amazing, and i shouldn't always be shoe-gazing.
