Beautiful Music

Last night Pat kept coming and getting me to come and watch various performers as they sang beautiful music. He was especially taken with a duo that competed on Britain's Got Talent...that he just happened upon while browsing the internet/you tube. Then, since we had heard sooo much about the performance at the Christmas music concert put on by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir I searched for and found the performance, which is also quite beautiful.

As to the first performance I'm sharing, I have to tell you that it is quite unexpected. It just goes to show that we need to not judge others. We have no idea of what beauty they hold within, and what they can share to make our lives better.

I am so grateful for the pure talent of others. One of my greatest wishes is to be able to sing well in the next life, because I certainly can't  in this one! Oh, how I wish I could...

AND... Happy New Year! I hope it is as wonderful as it possibly can be for everyone. :)

Enjoy!

Warm blankets

A few years back I bought several blankets to use in our great room, and bedrooms. (Of course they are from Costco.) They are soft, warm, and cuddly! With the weather being chilly here they are perfect for snuggling and getting toasty warm. I am grateful for these blankets, and so is our cat, Missy!

Costco supplies

It's no secret that I love Costco! Today we went to pick up a few supplies. One of the great deals they had (and we bought) was an emergency car kit. It has first aid supplies, jumper cables, orange emergency triangles, etc. All for the low price of $25! Of course we purchased other things there, all causing me to have even more gratitude for Costco!

Sweet Baby James

James is FOUR years old today! My goodness!

Where on earth did that time go?

It seems like it was just yesterday that I was flying to Amy's

to go and meet this little guy! What a blessing he has been in our lives,

we are so grateful for him.

He is funny, smart, silly, a little mischievous, and imaginative.

He is also quite loving, and is quick to hug just about anyone.

Happy 4th Birthday to our Sweet baby James! We love you so much! 

7up

Today my "food" of choice is 7up, and I am grateful for it.

Gaining knowledge

Pat taught me a few new things about Excel, which I am quite grateful for! The cut and paste is so much easier now! Thanks hon!

I do love gaining knowledge about things I am familiar with that makes them, and me, that much more efficient.

Thoughtful Gifts

Today is Christmas! I love Christmas for many reasons, the main one being that we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. My second favorite thing about it is time spent with family. That didn't really happen this year, so I'm grateful that Pat and I have each other to celebrate with, and that we can skype with some of our kids, kids-in-law and grandkids. [Some of them are sick, not skyping today! :( ] Lastly, I am grateful for the opportunity we have of giving thoughtful gifts to one another. I love hearing the joy in the voices of those I love (or seeing it on their faces) as they react to what we have given them. I am grateful for thoughtful gift giving, it makes giving so enjoyable!
