November Gratitude Journal #1

So, I just made a comment on Jared's blog that I wasn't going to blog today and therefore would not be able to participate in the overwhelming task of NaBloPoMo (which is National Blog Posting Month and you're supposed to make a post every day for the month of November.)  Then, I headed over to Molly's blog for a quick minute and she reminded me of a great and easy way to post every day.  She does 30 Days of Thanks.  Really, is it that hard to make a list of what you're grateful for once a year?  Maybe it will make me nicer (I know my live-in in-laws would love that!  So would my kids and husband.)

Here goes.  I'm super tired and want to go to bed, so my first entry is this:  I am grateful for the Sun.  It's not a secret and it's not a new thing on this blog that I'm loving our new home in Albuquerque where there are something like 330 days of bright crisp sunshine each year.  We had 2 overcast days in a row about a week ago and I thought I was going to go MAD!  I truly suffer from S.A.D. and I have to say that the good ol' ABQ sunshine is doing a great job of keeping it at bay.  It was a gorgeous, beautiful day today.  It was yesterday too, and the day before that.  I actually got a sunburn on Halloween.  I know I should fear skin cancer, but I just can't get enough!  Thank you Sunshine!  I'll work in the Halloween post somewhere soon.
