Today I am grateful for a grow up work weekend away. I'm grateful for Madelineshappy song and dance after dinner. I'm grateful for happy memories of Casey, and another ten minutes to snuggle this dog.
I'm grateful To be home. For a half day at school. For more snow! I'm grateful to Alan for loading up the car and driving us home. I'm grateful to Alan for taking good care of us at the mountain. Wonderful weekend in Vermont. Wish I'd skied abut better but still fun.
I'm grateful for Vermont, for getting away, for Alan spending the whole day with Maddie yesterday. I'm grateful Madeline's awesome skiing and climbing skills...she is really growing up. I'm grateful that Alan and I are harmonious
I am grateful for breakfast with a friend. I am grateful for my storage facility, I am grateful  for cozy warm pajamas. I am grateful for those two great dinners that Alan cooked.
I'm grateful for... A good nights sleep Back to school today My awesome, enormous couch A beautiful morning at church. So, pursuant to making life changes Madeline and I went to church yesterday. I liked it, I like the pastors message, I like being back with the Presbyterians and not having to kneel. I miss all Saints though. I miss that beautiful little building and father Shakespeare.  But this church is also lovely and warm, and the message is right on. The pastor spoke about epiphany being the time for letting light into all your dark places and transforming yourself. He spoke about how we are all on a journey of transformation that never ends. I know I have more to do, but I think just going there helps me to shine that light.  My dark places are  discontent and loneliness and disconnection. Going through the motions without really living. I think my next step will be to really get involved with this church, and find a way to make a difference.
I'm grateful for my friends. I'm grateful that I'm still optimistic. I'm grateful for my beautiful, Christmasy house. I'm grateful for smooth jazz!!
I'm grateful for... Lazy  couch day, watching hockey. A lovely party last night with lobster! A hot hot hot bath that was delicious. A sweet little girl who gives the best hugs. A gassy little black dog. A husband who is trying verrrry hard. A delicious shrimp, feta, orzo dinner. More great chocolate. I am spoiled!
