Eleven Hours

Hi friends!

I hope you are enjoying a little down-time between Christmas and New Years. I am lucky enough to be in the kind of business that allows for exactly that; generally the last thing on people's minds this time of year is hanging around the office for training!

My down-time included some sleep catch up...I slept for 11 hours last night! I think I was up for something like 32 hours straight, but one good, long night's sleep, and I am right back on Paris time.

So on my list of things I'm grateful for today:

1)  a bit of a break from work...but not too much
2)  catching up on my sleep and getting back into my sleep pattern...fast!
3)  my bed. Ok, so it's not technically mine--came with the apartment, but I am accustomed to it, and boy was I snug as a bug in it last night!
4)  New channels which include, get this, BBC and FOX News. France JUST went HD!
5)  that this year I think I got my Mom something for her birthday that she both likes and will use! :)

Tomorrow...Mom's birthday! SOOOO thankful that she was born!

Now, tell me, tell me, tell me what you're grateful for today!

    Nice gratitude list Gina...
    Tonight I am grateful for both my daughters being in the same town at the same time - with me! Davis vacuuming the floor and the dishes being (mostly) done by my daughters....

    1) That the snow is melting
    2) That the State of NC highway guys did a magnificent job, at least on any roads I had to use since the snow started falling
    3) Did I already say I'm thankful that the snow is melting? Just kidding - I'm thankful for a sweet hubby who shoveled doggie potty areas big enough that the dogs can smell all the spots they're used to pottying in
    4) That I've lived this long, this healthy and this loved by my hubby, my daughter and my pets
    5) That I was able to find the manual to my camera so I can learn to use the telescope lens I got for my birthday

    1) My culinary talents, if I do say so myself! :)
    2) French wine (hmmm... that one may have appeared on my list already!)
    3) Fresh bread from a local bakery / boulangerie.
    4) My insatiable appetite for photographing the quiet, narrow streets of Paris; I love how the sunlight dances between the buildings.
    5) Cafe life in Paris.

    And here's #6 today:

    6) French pastry! Miam!!!! :)

    Thanks to you all for being here! I am getting such joy from sharing gratitude with all of you, and I hope you are getting a little "soul food" from being here too!
