Gratitude Challenge-Day 2

So at the office where I work we are taking a 21 day gratitude challenge, and I thought it might be fun to share along the way.  Day one was accepting the challenge.  Today is Day 2. 

The Challenge:  Use the alphabet as a fun and quick format for making a list of the things for which you feel grateful.  Share this list with your social media through email, a blog post, or a facebook or myspace page.

A-Amy Petty.  I miss you every day.  You are one of the coolest people I know and I am so grateful for all your love, support, and encouragement.
B-Billy Petty.  I still have yet to fully appreciate everything you taught me and all the kindness you poured into my life.
C-Connor.  He is my kind, caring, funny son.  I love that boy!
D-Dad; I have so loved playing and singing with you, and am way excited that you are coming with us to Nashville :)
E-Erin; my spunky, vivacious, sweet girl.  She makes me smile every day :)
F-friends; good ones are hard to find and sometimes I take for granted that I have more than most.  I love you all.
G-grace; I need so much of it and deserve so little at the same time; makes me that much more grateful for it

Q-quiet; for moments of stillness before God where I listen more than I speak
