Saturday Gratefuls

I have so many things for which I am grateful this week. Here are a few ...

• my cozy home, slowly but surely getting decked out for the Holidays
• camping out on the sofabed in the living room last night with D and Cassie, falling asleep by the glow and sound of a crackling fire in the fireplace
• not one, but two Christmas/Winter trees!
• an evening of jazz presented by Ottawa's Impressions in Jazz Orchestra, inspired by a famous 1938 Benny Goodman concert at Carnegie Hall - I was so giddy when they performed Sing, Sing, Sing I thought I was going to burst!
• winning my very first blog giveaway at Wonderings and Wanderings (merci Jeanine!)
• dinner with a dear friend spent gabbing, giggling and pondering modern-day questions & quandaries
• a few good book finds at St. Vincent de Paul's thrift store
• tickets to tomorrow's reading of A Christmas Carol by local CBC personalities - set in a church and combined with a Christmas singalong it's a beautiful way to welcome the Holiday season

Blessed am I.
