Welcome
I moved to Shropshire from Tooting four years ago, and what with flooding and all, the move has not been without its problems.
However, I always count my blessings and one day decided I'd post a daily blessing onto Facebook. The post would be "in praise of" something that I'd enjoyed, or that had enriched my life, the day before. The idea was that after a year I'd have 365 "blessings" I could look at when I needed a tonic. I completed this challenge in October 2010 and now post less religiously.
