Today's Gratitude List

So many specific things for which to be thankful:
 
                                  View from our front window this morning
  • Being able to be at home especially on days like today when it is snowing and blowing and cold!
  • Greg who goes to work even on these nasty days and is happy I get to stay home!
  • A big picture window where I can stand and stare at the beauties outside without getting even a tiny bit cold!
  • My kids blogs where I can read all the cute things our grandkids say! They put and keep a smile on our faces! 
  • The fact that I am in the GRANDMA phase of life. I love it so much!
  • My Bosch mixer that I use almost every day of my life!
  • My new sewing machine that I am enjoying so much.
  • Energy again!
  • A new MS drug to try.
  • Our new (to us) 2007 Toyota Avalon provided by Greg's company for our driving convenience.
  • The heated (and cooled) seats in said car. A definite "old fogey" feature I hope never to be without. Yes, I am spoiled!
  • Skype and the opportunity to visit with our Florida kids and grandkids last night! It was as if I could reach out and touch little Eva, our newest! Love technology (when used for good)!
  • A husband who still calls the two of us together for FHE on Monday nights. Love the Old Testament lessons we've been studying.
  • Grapefruit! Love wintertime for good oranges and grapefruit!
  • Looking for and finding the perfect Christmas gift for each of our 17 grandkids and all four of our children and their spouses.  There is something that is so much fun in this for both Greg and me! (And we do appreciate those little helps from our kids in our quest for those "just right" gifts!)
  • Electricity! 
  • My camera!
  • Everything I need to make and keep me happy...family and the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

An Avalon?! They're such great cars. That's exciting! And yes, the "bum warmers" as I call them, are awesome!!!

Great list, Mom, life is so good.
