In one of the other threads we were talking about job cuts and the economy. One of the Farmgirls suggested that we should focus on the positive, instead of thinking about the bad new to list what we are grateful for. I agree with her 100%. I can be negative and that made me snap out if it!! I'm starting this thread and I will try to come every day to post what I am grateful for. Will you join me?? Let's see how big we can make this thread with all our gratefulness. It only has to be a line or two, or more if you like.
Today I'm grateful for the beautiful winter sunshine out my dining room window.

I am grateful for Maryjane yet again My water line in my well froze and I did what I had to do and climb in an put a heater in and do what had to be done. I farm girled up I went in with the knowledge that what won't hurt helps you. It is now 2 days and 7 hours but I have water and feel great. Time for a hot bath.

I'm grateful to have a wonderful family, a husban that's a hard working man, handsome besides with a great sense of humor. I'm grateful God answers prayers and I'm living my childhood dream surrouned by critters, living on a horse ranch. *U*

Today I'm grateful that this area of WI (north but not as far as the Lake Superior area) hasn't had the big snowfalls yet and I've been able to get back and forth to work safely. |

today I am grateful for the evening I had last night with my family. We got on our jammies, ate pizza, made big mugs of hot chocolate and rode around looking at Christmas lights. It was so fun with a 2 and 5 year old, and a preggy daughter, and my hubby.....son in law did the driving....so grateful for the memories it made.

I am grateful that there is a drain in the basement floor for all the water that was there when the pipes froze.
Now I am grateful that I can fix the broken pipes and clean the water up and by tonight I will have water again.

Today I'm grateful for my wonderful students. They pulled together to help another student's children have a Christmas!
Instead of being competitive they have decided to work as a team to get everyone through our program which is very difficult at times. |

I am grateful for a nice warm shawl to keep my shoulders warm!! I am grateful for Jessie for making nice warm shawls!! I am grateful for UPS trucks to bring nice warm shawls right straight to me! And I am grateful for a nice sweet lady who will be wearing the pretty blue shawl tomorrow when I go see her. I am also grateful (well not really right now but will be in spring) for all this much needed rain.
And you know what else? I am grateful to be able to see all these other posts full of grateful women from all over this wonderful country of ours. It is good.

I am grateful for misty, cold December days like this with a scent of woodsmoke in the air. Walking outside in these conditions makes me feel truly alive.

What a lovely topic!! I've lots to be grateful for these days. I'm blessed with a wonderful marriage. I'm blessed with a houseful of teens and one tag-along "baby" who keep things lively. I'm blessed to be living out in the country. It's a rainy day, helping slowly to get us out of this drought. My hubby has work and we aren't looking at any lay-off that we know of (amazing how people keep building even in hard times...at least so far, they are building a bank right now!). I get to stay home and be mom, homemaker and farmgirl. I have a grandma I love who taught me the heart of what it is to be a farmgirl..which she managed to be while working a full time nursing job to support her 4 children...I have other family I love, but my MaMa just shines for me. I have lovely smelling hay in the shed to feed my animals. I have a nice warm fire going in the woodstove with a silly corgi dog snoring in front of it (my beagle is roaming the yard, he wants nothing to do with drowsing before a fire LOL). I have a pantry that could easily get us thru a month or two with no shopping needed except fresh milk..and a freezer of venision that will last us until next hunting season even if we had to eat it 4 times a week! A nice cup of hot chocolate beside me as I type and good music on low in the background. Technically all "small things"...but such is the stuff of a real life!! I'm content...especially since I have found a whole forum of potential new farmgirl friends!!!
