It is late November (yet again) and I have come across a beautiful lil’ post by C.B. Wentworth on gratitude. Suddenly filled with Thanksgiving, even here in Wales where no one thinks this is a time for Turkey (and what is this cranberry sauce business anyway?), I am returning to my roots.

31 Things I am Grateful for (I couldn’t stop with 22… in fact I wish I could keep going!):

1. My husband! I am so thankful for his unending love, support, and acceptance.
2. My simple little apartment, which is warm, not drafty, and has a working refrigerator and shower.
3. My friends & family, even though most of them are far away.
4. My parents-in-law, who are so selflessly supportive, generous, and kind.
5. My past.
6. Sunshine.
7. Mountains.
8. Hot, cooked food / baked stuff.
9. Books.
