34. Colorful children’s art on windows, helping brighten the white landscape
35.baby giggles
36. reading a picture book about the Sky Boys (workers who built the Empire State Building), intriguing conversation with children about Great Depression era and laughs about a Three Stooges parody of the Sky Boys my older children remembered
37. delicious smell of chicken simmering in crock-pot
38. Celtic flute music playing in snatches today
39. sundogs flaring out gorgeously as I drove home

What’s on your gratitude list today?
A.M. Pine - Hearth Ridge Reflections 
Today: I’m grateful that a young friend has her flight booked to visit us over the Christmas holidays, a snoozy cat nearby me, hearing my husband play his guitar and create a wonderful soundtrack as the backdrop while I edit and revise poems.
I decided that your query was not rhetorical. 😉
