bright and beautiful



That for which I'm thankful...that makes my life brighter and more beautiful...

131. those to whom I'm related and a cousin reunion


132. the shadows dancing on the ceiling from the fire on the hearth and sleeping next to said fire

133. laundry to fold...it means I have clothes to wear
134. thoughtful gifts that show how much I am loved by others
135. finding my camera in a a field of snow (thanks Gretchen!)
136. riding a sled behind a farm truck

137. not having to be responsible for a week (no cooking, no laundry, no cleaning, etc...) while on our honeymoon
138. having to say "What are we going to do now?" while on vacation....such a glorious feeling!

139. Christmas gifts that turn out exactly how I was wanting them to

140. food that is artfully arranged (note: we probably had more pictures from our cruise of the food we ate than of ourselves or the scenery)

141. a husband who understands and "gets" me
142. an annual Christmas gift from a good friend--Mary Englebreit calendar
143. Joey the cat who is easily ammused by a twisty tie for half an hour
144. That my biggest problem is that I spilled candle wax all over my carpet and it bothers me every time I walk by (as opposed to hunger, no shelter, dirty water, no job, human trafficking/slavery, etc...)
145. watching Westerns featuring John Wayne with my dad
