Snowy NIght

This has already been an extremely cold Ohio winter.  I can't remember it ever getting this cold (wind chill of -34) before.  To top it off, our furnace decided Sunday was a good day to die. 

I can't stand cold weather, so, needless to say, tonight; I'm not looking forward to a frigid drive home.  However, so I am choosing to concentrate on what I'm grateful for.  So here goes.  I'm so fortunate to have two wonderful daughters, and a dear mother who loves me so completely. 

I have an amazing group of friends, who are indeed an extension of my family.  With all the wonderful blessings I have, I'm going to drive home grateful for the lovely home I have.  No matter what, choose gratitude!  Be safe!
