I’ll have to call this Five for Friday on Saturday. Well, at least I’m consistent.

(Just a note: The date at the top says 3 January, 2016, but it was really still 2 January when I posted this, so I will keep my comment about Saturday as is.)

Let’s get right to it then. I am grateful for the fact that I am still healthy enough to shovel snow. I am grateful for heated side mirrors, because I don’t have to stay outside to scrape them; writing, because I really enjoy expressing myself in this way; painting, because I also enjoy expressing myself in that way; and the new year, because there is so much to hope for.

What are you grateful for?
