This beautiful Sunday morning when I woke up it was -18C/-0.4F outside, but warm and cozy inside. I love the outdoors, but I also love my home. Since this apartment building is brand new every experience is a first. This first winter my daughter and I hoped that the heating and isolation was going to be as good as promised. I am grateful that it is. There’s a constant, even, and very comfortable temperature, no matter what’s going on outside, and there’s no cold drafts near the windows. I am very grateful to have a home that is the right fit for my family. If I sit in the blue chair I have a view of the towns ski slope, that sight always makes me happy. I spend some time there this morning, crocheting and admiring the view.

What are you grateful for today? Would you like to join me in this Daily Gratitude Practice 2026?
