Thankful Thursday!

While walking Annie this morning in -10*F temps (with wind chills of -26*F), I realized I hadn't posted "Thankful Thursday" yet.  As I pondered what to write, it came to me.  I am thankful that I live in the climate I live in:

• After all, it is only temporary - these bone numbing temps do not last forever!
• I can dress for success and stay warm no matter how low the thermometer goes!  
• In Africa, I honestly couldn't take everything off to stay cool, but here I can put on even more to stay warm - and look like a technicolor rotund snowman! 
• I am challenged by driving in the snow, the ice, the sleet - and I think (hope!) it makes me a better driver!
• The snow is beautiful.  I can't say I like to scoop it, but it sure is pretty when it blankets every thing in a clean covering of white!

So as you're out and about over the next few days, be thankful for the weather.  It makes it much easier to enjoy!
