It's ironic that, after I posted about blessings including a warm place to sleep, I talked to Bob and learned that at least one of his fourth graders has been living with his family in a car (because they couldn't make rent) Some of the nights have been pretty chilly. The family has since been referred to a family shelter.

More blessings - these more specific (I hope to add five each day.)

a job I love and am good at
my grandmother's pink crystal
northers - one is blowing in tonight and I love the shift in wind and energy
gingerberry Kubacha ( a weird new organic raw drink that I've fallen in love with)
fitting into skirts marked "medium"

Gee, Victoria, I like this Joe guy, he's thankful for the very same things I am about you..and the list goes on. (LOL) I am loving to read about your gratitude for your life and so much that we take for granted. I want to start my own list now so it can go on. At the Thanksgiving gathering, my daugther gets impatient with me as I go around the room and tell each person what I am thankful for about them. She thinks I could use fewer words. What does she think I am , a poet or something?? She's gotten use to my verbosity and if I get a head start here I could really dazzle her with my gratitude. :)
