thankfulness on a freezing monday

I really thought this list would be longer by now. Like most things, I "forget to remember." Beginning with #202...here are some gratitude nuggets for this FREEZING Monday morning.

202. the reason we celebrate Christmas (birth of Jesus)
203. stepping out of comfort zones.
204. a home to decorate
205. Christmas decorations
206. Christmas lights
207. driving home at night amid the glow of holiday lights
208. rollerskating
209. Martha Stewart
210. Christmas baking
211. doing new things
212. not taking things personally
213. being different
214. a 9-year-old's reasoning
215. a body that functions
216. a legacy left
217. striving to be better
218. frosty crisp branches on morning tree
219. hand-crocheted blankets
220. freshly cut hair
221. Uggs. at 6 am in the morning.
222. hot tea in new cups
223. knowing someone so well
224. power amidst a wind storm
225. the freshness of monday

I'd also like to ask for prayer for a family in my daughter's class. Twins - Nate and Zack. Their mama died in her sleep in Thursday. She was very young and supermom to all. It's been very sad - beyond sad. All the girls at Hope's cookie party on Saturday have been closely affected. Life is short. Live well.

Happy Monday. :)
