“Gratitude is a twofold love — love coming to visit us, and love running out to greet a welcome guest.”  – Henry Dyke

1.  Christmas has been so wonderful this year, that if it were over now, it would still be the best Christmas ever!  Wow!

2.  My daughter drives a very old car that needs attention, and I got her a certificate for a car detailing from a place that does an amazing job!  Yippee!

3.  There is a secret photo book in the making that will be a big surprise.

4.  I got the CDs of my sister Barb’s interviews — since she passed over 3 years ago, we haven’t heard her voice.  I am giving out eight 3 CD sets.  It is a miracle to hear her talking and laughing.  A true Christmas miracle.  This is the best Christmas present I have ever given.

5.  I couldn’t find my Christmas music, so I downloaded my own favorites on iTunes individually and made a playlist.  Fabulous!

6.  My friend had surgery Monday and it went really well, and is going to make the quality of her life better.

7.  Last night, my friend Jean gave me a gorgeous, handblown crystal heart — oh me, oh my!  Yippee!

8.  My son has invited me out for an adventure tonight.  Spending time with people I love is what I really love the best — at Christmas and for the whole year.

9.  We got the proofs back from the family portraits.  What a wonderful sight!

10.  My boss sent me an amazing email of appreciation this morning.

Holiday greetings to my gratitude friends.  God bless us, every one!
