It's time to start being thankful...again!  Last time, I made it to 247 grateful posts, which is fantastic, but let's be honest, not all that fantastic.  So the goal here is to be thankful for at least one thing every day for the next 365 days. Doable? Absolutely. Here, I'll prove it:

I'm thankful for...

Christmas break and all the fun things that happen during it:

going to the circus, eating like a crazy person, getting the yearly haircut, opening gifts, giving gifts, holding babies, hugs, welcoming a new year, going to see a much anticipated movie, and laying on the couch doing nothing.
