Thankful365 – Day 4: Winter

Will winter wonders never cease? I must admit, I have a love/hate relationship with this coldest and darkest of the seasons. I love watching the snow fall, the icicles hang from trees and houses, the way everything seems so quiet and peaceful and innocent under a fresh blanket of white.

At the same time, I hate driving in the dangerous, slippery, muddy slush that takes over the roadways, and how much the cold hurts my poor exposed fingers – the “bite” of frost when you scrape it from your car windows. Alas, there is a dark cloud to my silver (or should I say white?) lining of winter wonderlands….

Thankful365 – Day 3: Small Comforts

Today I am thankful for some wonderful Christmas gifts from a very dear friend – fun mittens and super soft house slippers. Even more special is knowing that I have been blessed with such caring friends. Along with gifts, we were able to take some things to storage, a great step closer to moving out by the end of this month!
