This is the last day in November and thus, the last day of the Giving Thanks Challenge hosted by Leah at South Breeze Farm. Participating was a wonderful experience and I look forward to join again next year. Although I did not participated with a post of thanks every day, some of you might have noticed a single, new sentence posted on my sidebar each day. In it I expressed my gratitude towards subjects, people and situations in my life and my surroundings, directly (or indirectly) linked to the post of that day.
Thank you Leah for a wonderful sentiment and for the privilege of letting me become part of a beautiful movement.

Very meaningful list, thanks for sharing it. I am thankful to have met you this year! You sharing your life in such beautiful prose and pictures has enriched my own. When I began blogging I never dreamed I would meet new friends all over the world!
A really lovely list and I had a closer look at the photographs...how great they are; is that you and your sis in the picture at the bottom, smiling away and oh how happy you look!
What a fine and wonderful challenge to be a part of... I am visiting from Doreen's place and stopped to say hello.
What a beautiful thought. We indeed have to be thankful as we are very fortunate as compared to many others!

It adds up isn't it, all the good things we almost daily experience! Good to have a list like that hanging above our bed (for you: on your fridge:) ) to look at on a day when things go wrong!
What a great list!
Wen I'm getting ready to go to sleep each night I try to come up with at least 3 things I'm thankful for that are specific to that day in additon to things like my house, my family and pets. It makes me feel better, especially if I've had a particularly bad day.
I'd like to join Leah's challenge next year.
I'm thankful to have you as a blog friend! :)
Zuzana,
Your inner beauty is shown through your list of thankfulness. You are setting an example to all who visit your blog of how we need to take hold of this life and enjoy what is given us and share it with others. Thanks for being YOU !!
