So here it is... Reason #9 why winter isn't so bad...

Thankful that these wonderful people return FINALLY!

Remember when I told you back in day #1 that some people leave for warmer weather.  Well, these folks go to the warm waters of CA to avoid the coldest part of winter and since it was so cold they got stuck there for a little bit longer than they planned but today they finally make it home.  So I am thankful that they are around again.

Today I am thankful for a family that I wasn't born to but is family just the same!

So here it is... Reason #8 why winter isn't so bad...

The garbage doesn't stink

Ok, ok we are not as good as we should be taking the garbage to the dump but in the winter it is not as bad when it takes weeks for us to get there because it just freezes and doesn't stink!  (hey it's true!)

So today I am thankful that it takes longer for things to decay than it does in the summer.

So here it is... Reason #7 why winter isn't so bad...

Antibiotics...

Yup today I needed them today for the 3rd time this month.  Nothing serious, but... I got to go to my doctor's office that day, was able to show a little piece of plastic, pay a small fee, the rest was paid by my insurance company.  I was also able to get quality healthcare, I was treated with respect, handed a slip of paper and able to get high quality medications within an hour and at barely no cost to me.  I started feeling better within hours.  This is not true for a lot of the world who die of conditions that could be helped with simple and easily available medications all because of their place or status of birth.

So today I am thankful that I have quality healthcare and medications available to me.

So here it is... Reason #6 why winter isn't so bad...

See this handsome Prince right here?  I am really thankful he works super duper hard for us!

Remember when yesterday I said that I was thankful that we were able to redo our master bath this winter?  That takes $$$$ and this guy right here has worked some 60 hour weeks recently to provide for that and I REALLY appreciate that.  He is the most faithful, hard-working, supportive husband any woman could want... but back off ladies... he's all mine!!!

Today I am thankful for a faithful, hard-working, supportive man in my life.

Time to work on indoor house projects.

We decided to redo our master bathroom (need a major update from the teal blue walls and pink appliances) this winter.  So with no lawn to mow, cars to wash, garage to clean, garden to tend to, and pools to upkeep it leaves more time to work indoors.  (and really who wants to be inside when the weather is nice?)  Isn't this shower head really nice?  I really thought so to but we didn't end up getting it as it cost nearly as much as the entire shower itself... but one can dream right?  Anywho...

Today I am thankful for the time that is available to do those "pretty" projects around the house.
