How Am I Thankful? Let Me Count the Ways.

We are employed at work we love, and we have enough to eat.
We have a comfortable place to live.
Our family is healthy. Mostly.
Our extended families still talk to us.
Next month, the car is paid for.
The hummingbirds like the sugar-water we provide.
We have thoughtful and supportive friends.
We live in the United States.
The weather is cold enough to warrant a crackling fire and fleece booties.
I have a husband and kids who love me and whom I love.
I am thankful for all this.

The Blustery Day

Toward the end of our stay in Copenhagen, the wind came up. Sometimes, it rained. While waiting for the airport shuttle, I saw this banner blowing about, and used the Fuji Finepix to capture a few seconds of the action.



I'm so glad I bought that coat in London! It was perfect for the weather!
