Slacker, I am!

Well, since I've slacked for almost an entire week, I'd better catch up on the blessings homefront! Yesterday, I sat at a coffee shop (it WASN'T Caribou, so I'm not even going to say where I was - I feel like a traitor, but there wasn't one around!) and jotted down 70 BLESSINGS. See what happens when one falls behind? Anyhow, it was a good day to think about good things. There's been a lot of crummy stuff happen this latter part of the week & I really needed the blessing reflections to bring me up. So... here's what I came up with that I've been feeling blessed by:

• Hot water - especially when I'm otherwise cold!
• Sunshine - I may have already listed it, but it's worth appearing more than once!
• Free coffee samples - when you least expect 'em!
• Gift cards - the best when you find out there's more left on them than you expected - WOO!
• Dollar stores
• Khan's Mongolian Grill
• ABBA
• Christmas Songs - starting to listen to them on November 15th, the annual date for me to begin feeling festive through song :)
• Facebook - a great way to keep in touch and find people I'd lost track of
• Operation Christmas Child & the chance to make Christmas even more special!
