what are you grateful for today?

Some.

I'm grateful for Boxing Day! We always visited my mum's dad on this day (closest grandparent by distance and relationship-wise too) and we opened presents from him, so it was like a second Christmas for us. As gruff as he seemed to be most of the time, he was very generous at Christmas and knew how to celebrate well. He even experimented later in life at making his own pizza, and it was really good, so that joins the Christmas and Boxing Day memories that make me smile.

The rain held off so I could get sort one or two things outside.

No shovelling needed today - just wet snow overnight and this morning, so not much work involved as it takes care of itself by melting!

I'm grateful for calendars, to help me organise our days!

For my backyard and all the animals I see every morning.

I'm grateful that even with shovelling and a bit of sledding, we still managed to get in our schoolwork before lunch.

That the fields were frozen yesterday so I could walk without getting wet and muddy.

I have a pair, they are awesome.

I'm grateful for a couple of hours alone time my husband has gone off to town with my daughter so I have a morning on my own no that I'm doing anything exciting just laundry and making hamburgers but... it's me, on my own.

I'm grateful for technology.

We always put our's out the night before. We never know what time they will show up. Sometimes early, sometimes late. 

I can usually hear them coming as it is quiet where I live and I am up fairly early. I am wary about putting the bin out the night before in case of vandals, although the worst I have seen is someone putting their dog poo into someone else's recycle bin

There are always those who just don't care.
