monday gratitudes

Today I am grateful for...

• The Roasted Chicken and Lemon Herbed Potatoes I made for dinner last night. The recipe was from Country Living Magazine and was soooo good! And it has fed us for two nights so far...tomorrow I will use some of the leftovers for a Mac & Cheese recipe in the same issue/article of the magazine.
• Time to make some ATC's tonight for a swap coming up on Thursday. Played with all sorts of Halloween papers, images and themes.
• Doctors and Surgeons.
• A warm, comfortable, homey apartment.
• Fall days.
• Autumn Leaves candle from Yankee Candle.
• A weekend in Maine coming up in a few weeks.
• My family. Past and present connections, memories and future moments to come.
• Tortilla chips and Salsa.
• Pumpkins.
• Jack-o-Lanterns.
• Apple Picking.
• Fall in New England.
• My car stereo.
• The television remote control. Seriously. What a pain to have to get up every five minutes to change the channel!
• Support I don't have to go far for.
• Art Therapy.
• Self-advocacy.
• Yarn. My stash and the possibilities it holds. Always exciting to find the perfect pattern for a favorite yarn.
• Cool nights for sleeping.
• Hot Apple Cider.
• Fall decorations....here's my fall wreath. Actually we keep the same grapevine wreath up all year and I add and take things away each season. So it isn't anything fancy...but it is fun that it is always changing. And since we live in a small apartment it saves space to have one universal wreath instead of finding places to store one for each season.
