Well here I am again, someone that just a short time ago had to really search deep inside to see what she was grateful for, even though it was right in front of her.

I get home from work yesterday evening and find out that we have no electricity ! It's below freezing up here, getting dark and NO ELECTRICITY! IC...."I called {my girlfriend}, why don't you take the girls over to spend the night there...her daughter has been wanting them to sleep over for a long time anyways. And while you're gone, I'll start-up the small generator."

So I return from dropping the girls off...still no lights. I go inside and IC has a nice fire going, a bunch of blankets and pillows layed out on the floor in front of the fire, he's poured me a glass of wine and he's sitting in front of the fire making smores

I ask him..."couldn't get the generator going?" With a little wink, IC replies.."Honey, we don't own a generator ;\) " Needless to say...any LDness that was starting to creep back into me these past couple weeks --- GONE !!

So what am I grateful for this morning ? I'm grateful for that large tree that came down across the power lines
