gratitude-a-thon day 299: holiday happy

I have now been trying to make this post all photos, FOR 30 MINUTES. The weirdest stuff keeps happening. The photos keep erasing themselves, and shifting captions. It’s like picture poltergeist. Oy vey. I really need some WordPress help. Who knows a WordPress tutor? I’m all yours.

Anyway, we here at the gratitude-a-thon (meaning ME here at the gratitude-a-thon), have been busy holidaying it up and not blogging. But that does not mean I have not been feeling the love. I have had so many moments of pure gratefulness that there isn’t even enough room on this planet. I have had to rent out space on Saturn.

Rolling up the rug and dancing it up with Luciana at the Ober party. Still sweating.

And still dancing.

I have had such a good time having my son home, spending time with my sister and brother-in-law, and my good friends. I am grateful for the strong drinks and Shepard’s Pie at Kevin & Bridget’s (HI, SHELITA!), Christmas carols with Deb & Charlie (not really) and a lovely visit from Adam and Lily, and the macaroni and cheese on Pajama Christmas Eve with Toni & Dan, and of course, our Christmas day, with a Stein stop by featuring Ally’s innaugural lasagna, and our family, stuffing ourselves silly and gorging on gifts. Speaking of, I got so many amazing gifts, I can’t even speak. I am spoiled and appreciative. And gosh, I love all the cards I received. Mine are still not out, but they’re coming! Muchos gracias to all my friends and family for making Christmas 2014 a holiday to be grateful for. I think of all the people that are struggling and I hold on tighter to all that I have in the form of relationships and love, (and of course nifty gifts). Lucky. Lucky me.
