Oh la la...I missed you yesterday! I was traveling from Paris to my parents' home in North Carolina, and my 12 hour trip took 21 hours. Apparently the dyslexic pranksters were in charge of my day. I did think of you throughout the day yesterday: "Haven't posted today" "When am I going to post?" etc. The answer is "today." So, for today I am so terribly grateful for:
1) having FINALLY and, most importantly, safely made it here!
2) those hugs from my parents that I was waiting for
3) a good night's sleep
4) that although I was so tired that I thought I might throw up, I never actually did
5) the breakfast that I anticipate my Dad making for me today...mmmmm :)
As number 4 illustrates, gratitude isn't always glamorous. But it's always good! Thanks to you all for being here too. Reading your comments always, always, always brightens my day!
So what glamorous or unglamorous things do you have to be grateful for today? Do tell!

P.S. By the way... my '4' (I left off #5) comments on December 22 were actually enthusiastic comments fueled by this blog! Lately, I seem to be stopping to smell the roses much more than I have been these days. Thus the exuberance! :)
