There's a difference too-for I sense that being aware of blessings in our lives does not always mean we appreciate them- that's the rub. And-each and every one of us may be guilty of overlooking this due to rushing around from one task to the next or just being a participant of what I like to call "too many distractions." TV, Facebook, gabbing on the phone, shopping..-you get the picture. We have a choice though whether or not to participate or to simply stop and smell the roses to use a well-worn cliche'. I am looking forward to this exercise for the next 21 days. I am happy to say though, i mentally take note each day of very specific things (and people) I am grateful for and to. Now I will be able to write about it!! One thing I’ve noticed over the years is that, truly the happiest of people I know are deeply aware of their blessings AND they appreciate them.

Love your use of language... "I love being challenged to reach deep inside my heart and yank out the cobwebs and see what’s waiting to come out". I just started the challenge myself and those cobwebs are already clearing the way, little by little. I look forward to following you on your journey. Arianne, what a beautiful post.
