Gratitude - Take 1

In keeping with the season (and in a concerted attempt to regularly acknowledge the good things in my life), here is the first of what I hope to be many "I am grateful for..." lists. Yes, some of the items are superficial, but they are balanced by the not-so-superficial. Deal with it.

This week I am grateful...
-to know so many talented cooks
-that it's scarf-wearing weather
-to be part of two loving families
-for my public library and the way it so aptly fits my budget
-for a dog that is excited to see me whether I've been gone five minutes or five hours
-that Brett gets as excited about the Christmas season as I do!
-for online Christmas shopping
-for the regular text messages I get from my little sister, Jaylyn. Even the one that came at five in the morning
