Hello, 2020! Happy New Year!

     I'm hopeful that this year is going to be a good year! I mean, surely everyone HOPES that. I know there will be ups and downs, but overall I hope it's still a good year! In our household, this morning it started off well so far- I woke up and got nice hot shower. I started drinking my hot cup of coffee- Cinnamon Sugar Cookie flavor! My kids are still asleep in bed! I guess, I'm just in a good mood waking up grateful for the things that I have rather than the things that I don't! I hope to take down my Christmas tree today, it's bad luck to take it down before January 1st and I didn't think I needed any of that so I waited! I was talking to my sister-in-law about this very thing a few days ago, we're considerably very lucky-- we have a roof over our heads, heat, hot water, etc.. clothes, extra things like internet and phone, Netflix.. I mean, I could list everything we have that some people may not, but that's just silly- the point is that we are very lucky for what we DO have! So, I'm trying to have a better outlook on the things to be grateful for rather than the not's! I think that's my New Year's Resolution this year, to be more positive thinking rather than just the down side! It's real easy to just look at the down side.

     Anyway, I hope all of you are having as good of a morning as I am today! 

What makes you grateful this morning?
