Trains, planes, and automobiles

Hello friends!

First, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend time with people that you love. I know I did, and I am so grateful. Snow seems to be the word of the week followed closely by the words delays, cancellations, and a few expletives that I will leave to your imagination. Changes to our plans are not always welcome, and I know that I handled my delayed arrival last Tuesday with a lot less grace than I should have. That said, I am thankful for:

1)  my parents who were patient with me when I had lost all patience with American Airlines
2)  same parents who came to the airport to pick me up...twice.
3)  being able to spend Christmas with my parents and spend a couple of days in pajamas doing nothing with them too!
4)  the serendipitous scheduling event that led me to book my return flight through Miami and not through New York. I can't remember why I did it, but I am so glad that I did.
5)  my soft, sweet, warm kitties who were so happy to see me that one of them drooled and the other one follows me wherever I go. Ok, they both follow me wherever I go...and I love it.

So much to be grateful for! And you?...
