Taking a little time this morning to
be thankful for all I have.
And to enjoy the little things in life.
Because the things we take for granted
someone else is praying for.
I hope everyone has a happy week.
We are taking the train into downtown Portland today..
I have my camera.. Lets see what I can find.
Linking up with
