22 plus inches of snow is upon us here in New Hampshire. I know, I know. Some of you despise snow. This post is for you. This post is to remind you to be grateful and to choose joy. Always choose joy.
So as we gear up for the storm here’s 22 things (one for every inch) I’m thankful for and looking forward to on this joyous snow filled weekend;
- Homemade chicken noodle soup made by my sweet husband
- Cozy blankets and LLBean moccasins
- Our fun loving Bernese Mountain dog, Bear, that will be having a field day prancing around outside
- Snowmen, snowforts, snowball fights #boymomma
- Wine (need I say more?)
- A snowblower and a four-wheel driver vehicle
- The long holiday weekend honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. How far we’ve come…how far we still need to go…
- A guitar, a piano, and the pipes the good Lord gave me
- Enough firewood to keep us warm
- Board games, Play Doh, and family time
- Patriots’ football! Let’s goooo!
- Naps. I’m sooo grateful for naps
- Healthy children that will awake with eyes lite with wonder
- Time to paint my bathroom and finish off the laundry room
- Popcorn and movies
- The ability to stay in our pajamas all day long
- Laughter; when you live with your best friend there will be constant laughter
- Books to read
- The beauty of our yard blanketed in white; snow coating the evergreens that circle our property
- A roof over our heads protecting us from elements
- Cuddles on the couch with our little men
- A good God that makes it all possible
