Gratitude - Recap

So my goal of blogging gratitude every day...was not met. A perfect storm of an actual hurricane (Sandy), sporadic power outages, extra work (which involved sleeping at the office!!), hurricane-related 3 and 4 hour commutes - once commutes were possible, bronchitis and babysitting threw me far off track. But while I did not blog, I did take time each day to reflect on what I was grateful for. Here is a short list:



A strong son who carries my heavy groceries up 3 flights without complaint



Wee nieces who rejoice in their discoveries in nature



Texts messages from my daughter



Pomegranates



The only restaurant open at 10pm in lower Manhattan post-Sandy (hot and sour soup - yum!)



A very understanding sweetie who rubbed my back thru night after night of coughing



A very understanding sweetie who bought me cough meds - LOL!



Home. Made. Butternut. Squash. Soup.



Lots of firewood stocked up - and lots of kindling brought down by the hurricane. Lots of logs seasoning for next year!



Wee niece who arrived safely from FL for a holiday visit



Southern wee nieces who text and email us ALL. THE. TIME.



Word search puzzles



Abraham Lincoln



Living in a nation of laws and ideals



Abundant healthy food from our garden, from our farmers, from the shops



Knowing what to do with a 50lb sack of turtle beans



And more....





What are you grateful for?
