Sharing Some Gratitude Part Seven

Tis the season to be grateful!  I'm working on my gratitude all year long, but it's pretty easy this time of year.

--I'm grateful that our Christmas decorations are up.  Because of our vacation, we put everything up the weekend before Thanksgiving.  Normally that's a no-no at our house! Luckily the weather cooperated and we got the outside lights on too.  Tomorrow on the blog I'll be sharing our Lenox tree.

--I'm grateful that our furnace is working.  It's been pretty cold here, and our house is sixteen years old.  We had a repair man out to do a winter check up, and he said it looks good for at least a few more years.  Yay!!

--I'm grateful for Christmas candy and cookies.  Yum.  I think I have a sugar problem, which I will definitely address once the holidays are over :)!

--I'm grateful that our community continues to heal and move forward.  On Monday I helped a group of volunteers remove the huge memorial that had grown along the fence in front of Marysville Pilchuck High School.  It's time for the next step.

--I'm grateful for my brother.  He hasn't made an appearance on the blog yet, but here he is!  He's smart and kind, and takes my family fishing and hunting.  I love this guy.

I hope you find what you're grateful for during this magical time of year!
