Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Any 3 Things:
1. My girls are all home right now—sort of—middle Dd left yesterday for a 2 night trip with her friends—but she is otherwise home until mid-January. Oldest is in and out—her apartment in the city is about 30 minutes away but she is sleeping here most nights. I know these days are numbered so I am trying to make the most of them.
2. My house looks great. I love all the lights and seasonal decorations.
3. My shopping is mostly done.

Winter Things:
1. I wouldn’t want it to be dark early all year long, but I don’t mind a little of it. I love putting the fire on and getting into my pj’s early and settling in—doesn’t feel right to do that before it gets dark.
2. Cozy clothing
3. More time for games/puzzles.
 
Winter…

Living in a resort city, our winters are a bit “desolate” in so much as there aren’t many people around. So, traffic lights aren’t set to go off, there’s very little traffic, yet, we still get to enjoy glimpses of the ocean, sunsets and peace and quiet.

Snow falling. If we get some, it’s beautiful to see, but I don’t go out in it, balance issues, so it’s a mixed bag.

In January, we do like to escape to WDW for Epcot’s Festival of the Arts. If DH’s doctors agree, we will be heading down in late January.
 
Winter . . .

I am grateful for lower temperatures and humidity so I can go outside without immediately melting into a puddle.

I am grateful for the dormant season for my outdoor plants that require weekly maintenance the rest of the year.

I am grateful for the lower electric bills because I don’t have to run the AC very often.
 

DH brings that first mug of coffee and I get to sit in bed, drink my coffee, and check email, messages, DISboards, and FB.

Almost every evening the resident 7yo either wants to snuggle while watching TV or read together. He is challenging and frustrating, and very, very sweet!

Morning shower. Gotta have a shower in the morning or I feel scrungy all day.
 
Got a migraine, but been missing a lot lately, so wanted to pop on and say hi.
