Grace in Small Things is not hosted for free, so a couple of dollars goes a long way to support us. Thank you!

What is GiST?

What?
Schmutzie created Grace in Small Things as a daily reminder to take notice of the positive things we tend to overlook. You are hereby challenged to find the joy in small things, because life is short and love is large.

Why?
Grace in Small Things exists because we are choosing not to allow the noisiness of life to rob us of the time and energy to be mindful of ourselves and those we love and to recognize the grace that exists in small things.

Who?
Grace in Small Things is for YOU, because you deserve it.

When?
Grace in Small Things is a challenge for every day, because there's no time like the present, tomorrow never comes, and some other cliche about seizing the day. Oh, right: carpe diem.

Where?
Here!

How?
Grace in Small Things can be observed on your network weblog here, on your personal weblog elsewhere, in a notebook, or in smoke on the wind. The original challenge is to list five positive things every day, but we are a flexible lot, and since this is about finding joy, you should do it any which way that makes the most sense to you. There is a growing list of how-to articles to help get you started on the website.

Check out Schmutzie's inaugural call to arms: "Grace in Small Things: A Challenge for All of Us".

This is a picture of me with my little sister. She makes me laugh. I miss her when I'm away from home.

happiness has nothing to do with the circumstances in our life. Learn how refugees in Chad taught me about happiness http://ning.it/A27TRR

Check out my First Video Production

Just added a video that I made myself with Windows Movie Maker yesterday...software that was already on my computer. Anyway, I added the video to my "How to Write and Get Paid" listing on Kickstarter. Kickstarter is a crowdfunding site; for those that have not seen it, it is a place for authors, artists, movie makers, etc. to get funding to bring their projects to completion. I would love it if some of you on GIST would check it out and give me some feedback... Thanks, Denise …See More
