Winter is here….

  • The cold and crisp air outside.
  • Sunshine to add to it.
  • Yak tracks.  I bought them at the end of last winter season.  I will be using them more this winter.
  • The holiday season upon us.
  • Family.  Grateful for all of them as the Christmas holiday approaches.
  • Shoveling.  Don’t like it like I used to but it is good exercise.  I will be doing plenty of it this winter I am sure.
  • The lake is still open and I can hear the waves crashing.  I will see how long it takes to freeze over.
  • My friend from work’s sister opening her eyes!! She fell down her basement stairs a couple weeks ago and cracked her head open.  Followed by cardiac arrest after she got to the hospital.  Been praying.
  • My son, Justin.  It was 24 years ago on December 4 that I found out I was pregnant with him.  Best day EVER!
  • Family and friends.
  • God.  My Bible and Bible lessons I have been doing.
  • I woke up today.  If that isn’t something to be grateful for, I don’t know what is. Thank you God!
