Trying to remain Thankful...

Things I'm Thankful For....
My family, immediate and extended, who are supportive, loving and quirky. I love it that we can laugh together, and that we spend time together by choice, not necessity.
My Children, who bring a depth of joy to my life that I didn't even know was missing.
My God, who has blessed me with so much goodness in a world full of so much sadness.
The Earth itself... The frosted trees, the frozen water, the diverse mountaintops, the cleansing blanket of snow.
My home. Cozy and warm, plentiful in space and niceties.
My friends. They make me smile. They give me hope when I forget there are reasons to smile. And they encourage my silliness. They love me for who I am.
Of course there are tons more... maybe I'll keep my list going mentally today, when I get grumpy that my "little blessings" are behaving like untrainable cave-children. Wish me luck.
God Bless, Char
