Fabulous list!! I'm soooo grateful for JYC this year which has transformed the WHOLE of December for me - instead of Christmas lasting a few days around the 25th and being gone in a flash and a blur, my entire month is being spent focused around festvities, traditions and fun :)
until a few minutes ago my solicitor,.........but now I have to definately move ahhhhhhhhh
jo xx
but i am grateful i'm not having to move 2day!!
That's a fine list, and I'm glad you've got so much to appreciate. For today, I'm grateful to be home before dark, for my beloved laptop and for having posted my cards in respectable time this year. I'm also continually and unfailingly grateful for my hairdryer.
What a great list! Right now I'm grateful for my DD's attitude, which has been really super, through a couple of meetings with teachers about how to help her do better in school.

Great list! And cute Wordle, too! Today, since I'll be going out with some old friends for dinner, I'm especially grateful for the wonderful women in my life!
Yes, this is a great list Mel, I too have a lot to be grateful for - it is something I think about pretty regularly. What I am NOT grateful for, is my children waking at 6:30AM - yes AM on their first day of school holidays! And here I was proclaiming to all who would listen that they were sooo tired ..... mmmmmm.
Um...new friends that I'M still getting to know (especially when they've offered to bring mince pies!)

Great list, apart from the football! Today I'm extremely grateful to have my DH home, where he belongs.
A wonderful list,Mel....today I was very grateful that it tried [but failed] to snow.....cause I had to go to work.....tomorrow it can snow.
What a great post! I'm so grateful for a healthy and happy family--I never take it for granted.
aww love your list Mel. I am grateful for life in general for friends old and new. For my family, my dog and my hobbies x
I'm grateful for such a wonderful
and supportive family through this
special year (:
