Welcome to a very frosty cold Friday's Fave Five. I hope it's warmer where you are. But I'm so glad you came to join in once again to look for blessings that make your days more uplifting, blessings that bring you joy or even blessings that just get you through your day.
~ hard working hubby ~ well we've had another big dump of snow and I am so thankful for my Hubby who goes out there before families start arriving to the dayhome to shovel all the walks, steps and big double driveway. I'm open at 7:30 so that means he is out there well before that. I'm so grateful especially now when it's hard for me to shovel. I can do it, but then I pay for it later. I used to love shoveling and would do some the night before as it was needed but now the whole thing has fallen on him. So out he goes faithfully every morning when there has been snowfall without a word of complaint. He's a champ!
~ tea advent calendar ~ my friend gifted me with an advent calendar from David's Tea. There has been a delicious tea to try for each day. That in itself has been a delight, but she also bought herself one and we've been connecting daily with our thoughts on each flavor of the day. That has made it even more of a gift.
~ tree finally decorated ~ the Christmas tree made it up the first week of December but for various reasons it has taken forever to get it fully decorated. But finally on Thursday night I finished it. I can finally get all the boxes out of my upstairs and back down where they belong. I'm the kind of person who takes the bull by the horns and does a job until it's finished rather than do it small chunks. So the fact that this took a week and a half with everything sitting around was beyond frustrating. But now I can enjoy the beautiful glow of the lights without stressing that it's only partially done!
~ shopping done ~ I'm pretty much done the Christmas shopping with just little odds and ends left and the groceries. So thankful for that. Now that the tree is done I can get to wrapping and get that checked off the list.
~ great news ~ all the kids will be home for Christmas this year. This hasn't happened in awhile. So I'm beyond excited. Barring bad driving conditions for my daughter coming from another province, we'll have at least a few days where we'll all be together to celebrate Christmas. Praying for good weather over the holidays.
What were some of your blessings this week?
