December 2

I'm grateful to be out of the Bad Mommy Club, if only for a little while, because my daughter finally has a warm winter coat that she will actually wear. The fact that it is two sizes too large is implicit in my gratitude - perhaps it will fit her next winter as well!

Finally, the end of the week is here. With the go-go-go of work, you'd think I'd been away for a week or something. I'm grateful for Sleepytime Tea and a honey bear for company.

I'm grateful I have a job where I can unchain myself from my desk every once in a while and venture forth to capture a photo for the cover of a report. My fingers froze within the first 30 seconds, but I still enjoyed watching the morning light.

In general, I'm wary of re-gifting, but tonight I'm grateful to be the recipient of a lovely re-gift - homemade cookies and butterscotch candies. Thanks, Debra!

I'm grateful the last five years of productive output are finally organized physically and electronically.

We brought a Squiggle Ball back from the coast for Earl. All it takes is one AA battery, you flip the switch and away it goes! It never gets stuck in corners, because when it hits an object, it automatically reverses itself. A ribbon crimped between the two ball halves adds even more enjoyment. I'm grateful for cheap kitty entertainment.

Next vacation I will beg, borrow or steal good enough technology to update Snapshot Gratitude and Rejects from where ever I may be. Downloading and writing for eight gratitudes in a row all at once took a long time! I'm grateful that they are all tucked into their respective little electronic places and that I once again only have to worry about one day at a time.
