Grateful – Day 365

Well…what a year. When I revived this gratitude blog on January 1, I had no idea what 2020 had in store for us. So glad I returned to this disciplined way of looking for the bright spots every day. Having done so throughout 2016, I successfully reprogrammed my outlook but it’s always good to reinforce

Grateful – Day 364

As much as I love the Christmas tree, especially during the first few days when it’s fresh and fragrant, I don’t like it hanging around a long time. Kind of like after an awesome vacation, I like getting back home and into my routine. I also enjoy the feeling of space, almost a clean slate,

Grateful – Day 363

Mama took this pic of us during something she called a briefing this afternoon. We don’t know why it’s called that, it wasn’t very brief. But whatever. Mama seemed relieved that it was the last briefing of 2020. We hope there are more in 2021, they put us to sleep just like a good bedtime

Grateful – Day 361-362

Well there are 4 days left in 2020 so today’s post can’t be Day 361. It has to be Day 362. Which means I goofed on a post somewhere along the line. Turns out I did Day 302 twice. Oh well, I don’t think anyone is going to judge me too harshly for that.

Grateful – Day 360

In normal times, this gang would get together on New Year’s Eve. Not so this year. But got to see a few of them IRL today and the rest virtually this evening. Thank goodness for technology.

Grateful – Day 359

Well, that was not a fun drive. About half of it was at 80-90 kph in driving rain and wind. With occasional outbursts from the boys trying to escape their carrier. (They do not like being in a box that’s inside a box moving at high speed.) Upon arrival in Halifax, some stress snacks were

Grateful – Day 358

Another Christmas on the books. Glad Joel is no longer so far away, although we got pretty good at Skype Christmas over the years – as many families are doing this year. Always missing Blair. But still we give and receive. We cook and we eat. We reminisce and we look forward. And there’s a

Grateful – Day 357

It’s super roasty warm in here, it’s like a drug, we can barely move. That’s the only reason why we haven’t batted anyone out of the manger. We might try to muster the strength tomorrow. Momma seems pretty happy to hug her humans again. She said it’s been 9 months and 9 days since she

Grateful – Day 356

A delicious sleep in. A late breakfast in bed and cuddle with the monkeys. One last batch of cookies for some good little girls and boys. Firewood in and organics out. Nachos and Netflix. Christmas vacation is off to a good start.

Grateful – Day 355
