"These are a few of my favorite things...."

"Raindrops on roses and wiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens...."

Gratitude...

These are a few of my favorite things....

Warm flannel sheets and fleece.  Warm sauna heat...purifying, cleansing.  Handmade soap from a kind friend. 

Morning sun on freshly fallen snow, or leaves, or grass or white caps...or still water...
the deep blue of the beautiful spacious skies.  The starry starry nights.  Light gives hope!

Knees that work.  Pain that was a great teacher and now a memory to inspire and not take for granted the simple functions of life.  Walking!!

Gardens that feed health.  Fresh air that makes each breath a pleasure.  Water cold from the faucet, clean and refreshing. 

Babies and Aged ones laughing.  My grown children laughing.  My husband laughing! 

Computers for communicating.  A good book with a cup of cocoa...or joe....or tea!  A quiet place to do it!

Clean house!  Clean sheets!  Clean anything!  So fresh and exciting! its so exciting to me....jajaja...

A husband who cooks, cleans, gardens, bakes bread and crackers and makes soup and chili and grows wonderful things in the garden to put in them.  Who cuts wood and keeps us warm and makes me laugh and challenges me and reminds me of "perspective" and loves me the way I am.

Two wonderful son who love me and tease me and try to change me! 

St. Vinnie's and wonderful treasures hidden that others no longer want...but are new to me!  and useful!  Motto that i am trying to internalize..." REUSE, RECYCLE, REPURPOSE!"

Sisters. ;-)
Nephews and Nieces who are awesome!

Mother who can barely speak but still wants to mother.  "Go home now! Be careful! "

I will come back and continue this discussion!
