30 Days of Thanks... Days 1, 2, & 3

I wanted to use this wonderful month of gratitude to express my gratitude.  So often I get caught up in the day-to-day humdrum that is my life and I rarely take a moment to stop and smell the lavender (I really don't think roses smell that pretty... but lavender?  Oooh, yum!)  Anyway, I'm hoping that by taking a moment every day this month to ponder about something for which I am very grateful, my heart will open up and I will be able to share that gratitude and love with my family.  So, here are days 1, 2, & 3.

Day 1:
I am very grateful for the house we have to live in.  I am especially thankful on days like this, (technically speaking it's the 3rd, but if I had written this on the 1st it would have been very cold and rainy) when I can bundle up under loads of blankets and snuggle with my girls and watch the rain from a warm, safe distance.

Day 2:
Yesterday I spent most of the day fighting a migraine, and so that has lead me to be thankful for modern medicine.  Without my migraine pills I would be lost.

Day 3:
I am so, so grateful for the beauty of the world.  It is a very splendid 60 degrees outside today and I am enjoying watching the beautiful leaves fall to the ground.  I have thrown open my windows to enjoy the cool breeze.  I can see the snow-covered mountains from my windows and they are beautiful.  I love fall, and I am grateful that I get to enjoy all the beauty that fall has to offer.
