#1GoodThing a Day for Advent - Week 1 Sunday Round-Up

I had to stop the car on the way home tonight & take a picture. I love living in Battle, it is such a pretty little town, with the abbey as a backdrop. Today's #1goodthing

Good morning friends, I hope you have great plans for today. I'm off to church where my hubby and I are on children's group this morning so that will keep us busy and then back home for lunch and a chilled afternoon. Christmas movie and some wrapping might be in order I think.

I've enjoyed the first week or Advent, it has been pretty low key for me, I've started a great colouring devotional called 'Words of Grace', been super busy at Food Bank, spent some time with the little boy I coach and put all the Christmas decs up.

You might have seen that I am sharing one picture a day during Advent with the hashtag #1GoodThing, this is my way of staying grounded during this crazy season and making sure I look for the silver lining, the one good thing. It is a simple gratitude project, I did it last year and it worked well and hence I am doing it again.

I opened it up for anyone to join in and a couple of fab instagrammers have been joining in regularly and then a couple of others just dipping in. I'd love it if more people felt they'd like to take part and there are no rules, just tag your image #1GoodThing and ideally check out others using the hashtag. I'll come and like/ comment on all participating posts.

Here is my round-up of my 4 favourite posts from this week -

Last week, I asked the florist for some white and sparkly Christmassy flowers. She did a great job. I actually love going in to florists: apart from the cold, I think they might be my ideal place to work. These flowers are my #1goodthing today.

A bit of an Advent theme going on there but isn't that just perfect?
