good, glad & lovely // glimpses of happy

I'll be honest: April kicked my butt. But looking back, I can see some glimpses of happiness amidst the stress and chaos. So, here's a good, glad & lovely list in the photos. 

May is already proving to be a little gentler, thank goodness. I am hoping that means more time for more posts. There's just so much I want to share with you.

The Good, The Glad & The Lovely is an experiment in gratitude. I've been keeping lists of good things in one form or another since I was a girl. I hope you'll join me as I count the positive, accept the not-so-great, and try to do a bit of good, too.

Hi, I found you when I received the book "an illustrated life" as a gift. I saw the pages you titled "Good Things" and it inspired me! At the time I'd been trying to keep a separate gratitude journal but that didn't work out. I now write "Happy Stuff" in my "real" journal as often as possible and it's been working out well. Thank you for sharing, I do enjoy reading your blog posts. Good luck to you and I hope May stays gentle :)

Hi Christine-
I love this! I do the same (and it reminds me of all the wonderful things in my life, especially when times are tougher). By the way, Laurie Smithwick used your strawberry and mail photos above in her Graphic Design for Bloggers class on Alt today as examples of great design! When I saw your name I was so excited!! xo
