All year I asked for your top ten things from each month. My original plan was to post every four months, but I forgot in the middle. Anyway, I wanted to share some of my favorite things from your lists [from May – December 2012]. Can you spot some of yours??
It’s really great how different the items are and the varying categories of life they come from.Remember to always feel free to send me your top ten lists. It’s really awesome for me to be able to read such positive lists every four weeks, but it’s also a great opportunity for you to reflect.
