Good freezing morning! This is my quick gratitude for power! Think good thoughts for me. We need to melt without freezing people.

Grateful to be able to come here, read your thoughts, and have a calm moment this morning. I am grateful my house is safe and my pets are safe.

Have a great and safe day!

Beverly, "life that runs on bandaids" - too funny and too true! Thanks for the giggle.

Today I am grateful for

+ being able to afford the new battery etc. to get me running again today

+ Stuart, who brought all the paperwork HERE for his audit

+ Linda who is coming for a quick weekend visit in bleak mid-February

+ my warm and comfortable house

+ crazy Book Club people tonight and it's in the Village so no driving

+ fresh light snow to cover the ice - still slippery but it looks better

+ not needing too many bandaids on Life today!
