Good Sunday Morning all! I think this morning I am grateful for one day closer to getting out of winter. So many of you live in harsher winter climates I almost feel bad saying that. I am so done with winter and I am grateful that every day brings us closer to warmer temperatures and out of cabin fever!

I am grateful for my car, my house, and my father.

I am grateful that tomorrow will start a new week that will hopefully go a little more smooth!

Have a great day.

This morning I am grateful for:

+ a wonderful evening with friends last night

+ an afternoon spent prepping a quilt for relaxing hand-sewing in the evenings this week

+ Claire who cooked a great meal that worked for my eating plan

+ nice phone call from my crazy brother who bought himself a 1962 T-bird

+ laughter with friends - my stomach muscles hurt today

+ Jack and Eric (12 and 10) invited me to go tobogganing with them - made me feel very young

+ found some veal to make a stew - rare around here!

+ looking forward to a slightly less hectic week with more ME time!

Ruth - I smiled at your invitation to go sledding!!

- most important - my cousin & I worked out our misunderstanding & everything is fine....I am so, so grateful.

- stayed with my food plan at our cousin's house yesterday... grateful

- took Mom to the drugstore - she had coupon's, 'free cash' etc. from the store and other things. She was excited to save about $45. At 88 she's a coupon lady!

- music in the morning.

- friends, family, YOU ALL, fb, cellphone

- love my electric heating pad - feels good on my pieces and parts

This morning I am grateful for...

...working plumbing as the freeze continues (hang in there house!).
...a working car, the house, my father
...layering so I can suck it up and move around outside
...a hot shower
...lots of homework today as it is not safe to drive
...fun recipes
...inspirational posts and blogs
...hulu and netfllix!
...my strong and healthy body
...everything I continue to learn about myself
...a new week!

Have a great day.

+ a day with only one "must do"

+ Disney who hands me her cold paws to warm when she comes in from outside

+ the temperature is moderating today and now just at freezing

+ a quiet evening with some TV and hand sewing of quilt binding - so relaxing

+ slept until 6 this morning

+ finalized a quilt design with that "Africa" fabric - a challenge but will be great

+ veal stew with rosemary is cooking in the crockpot right now

- everyday is full of all sorts of possibilities!

- rainy outside...better than snow! It's been a mild winter, so far. I like that.

- kind neighbors

- got the kitchen spic and span - looks so nice!

- my loving cousins

- the beautiful painting I found at the resale shop. It's amazing how looking a painting can make me so happy.

- friends, family, YOU ALL, fb, interent, cell phone, music

- electricity

the serenity that comes from looking out my office window.
the stream in my backyard.
My children.
My belief that I will soon be working full-time from home.
My imagination.

+ the privilege of volunteering for Extreme Makeover - Home Edition in Knoxville
+ the blessings of friends
+ a special consult with a doctor/friend tomorrow to find out about some healthy alternatives
+ to not be stressing this month over bills
+ to see compassion growing in my 11 year old son (who has autism)
+ feeling God's love
+ very big clothes! : )

...having power as the storm continues
...rubber boots for moving through the snow
...patience
...a working car, my house and my father
...the ability to let go
...internet connection, e-mail, blogs, hulu, netflix
...forgiveness and compassion

Have a great day all. Really enjoyed reading everyone's gratitude this morning.
