Things I'm grateful for today:

1. Christmas music
2. Cinnamon scented pine cones (when you don't live anywhere near pinecones)
3. The smell of food cooking in the kitchen
4. The love of animals -- unconditional and giving in every way (except when they have food on the brain.)
5. Healthy houseplants and the adventure of watching them grow and spread
6. Running water and electricity
7. The comfort of home -- the cushion of the chairs and couch and bed of home, the scents and sounds
8. Quiet
9. The love of my kids and their giving natures
10. Wind to blow through and change the landscape, little by little
