My husband and family and that we all enjoy good health.
That we are fortunate enough to have our own home, food in the house, clothes to wear and money to pay our bills.
The wonderful friends we have near us or in other parts of the country or online and our great neighbors that we visit with and help one another out.
That we are in a country where we are free to attend church and celebrate this wonderful holiday season.

What makes me happy…
My Daughter, Kailee makes me happy, especially when she says something outrageous- which is all the time!
My wonderful friend Suzanne who makes me smile everday with her emails and stories and incredible support. I am so lucky that she is my friend!
The fact that I am a writer and get to do that everyday even though the waiting makes me crazy- it still makes me happy.
My beautiful family makes me happy- they love me in spite of it all, accept me as I am, which is what family does, or should- love unconditionally- and for that I am so grateful.
I am Blessed.

The smell of the Christmas tree, the sharp tang of pine sap, and that breath of the outdoors.
Cats playing with the ribbons while I’m trying to wrap the presents.
Cooking good, tasty, healthy food.
Sitting beside the fire with a good book, a glass of something, a slice of toast and a cat on my lap.
Reading something I’ve written and being awed.
Diving into the dark, dark woods around Latrigg and feeling like the sleeping hill and the silent walker are sharing a marvellous and magical secret.

Happy…..
Hearing ds laugh
Snuggling with dh
Chatting with a good friend and family
Watching a good movie or show or reading a good book
Grateful….
To have just learned that though a fire destroyed a friend’s childhood home, her mother, sister and all of their horses, cats, dogs and other critters are safe
To have a roof above, food in the frig, clothing in the closet and the health to enjoy it all
To have a good job and a great boss
To have friends and family to share the joys and challenges with
Off to hug ds and call a friend.
Thank you Suzanne for reminding us all to take a moment to remember all the wonderful things we have.
