1. I am grateful for a gratitude practice to remind me what I have in my life when I‘m dragging.
2. Friendships - at a point in my life where I appreciate girlfriends and connecting.
3. A kind life partner, my husband has been my rock through life, loss and continuing sandwich generation challenges. 😊

#grateful for an impromptu vacation day, it is an absolutely stunning day. I ran on my favorite trail and will knit on my deck until lunch at a local Mexican place. Great start to a weekend, I wish you all the same. @Eggs Thank you for starting this prompt, great reminder that life is good when you pay attention to the details.☺️❤️

Eggs How nice for you!! Sounds like a great day! We‘re 10 or so days in and I can tell the gratitude is working its magic. Thank you for joining in 💕 2y

1. New neighbors! Our last upstairs neighbors were terrible (as a parting gift, their dog bit my husband. Awful from start to finish). Tonight, we shared beers & stories with the new folks. It felt like such a breath of fresh air!

2. First full week of work post-pandemic. Our Director knew we‘d be sad, so she‘s been feeding us each day (a selection of global snacks for the global pandemic).

3. Going to see trolls in Maine soon! 👹 See comments.

AmyG We had horrible next door neighbors in NJ. I‘d be grateful, too. Congrats! 3y
monalyisha @AmyG! Thank you! They were so bizarre. I honestly felt like at least one of them might have been a sociopath. So happy they‘re gone. Everything else about where we‘re living is so lovely! And now we can really enjoy it to its fullest potential. 💕 3y

@Gissy you went above and beyond, and I‘m so in love with everything! Your wrapping was exquisite! I love the little Puerto Rico box! The Poe tote with kitties is purrfect! This chocolate treat looks divine! I can‘t wait to find a frame and hang the art print in my library. And of course the books, everything is perfect, a wonderful balance of lengths and genres. You‘re the best Santa! Thank you so much! Book tags 👇 #secretsantagoespostal

Soubhiville Thank you so much to our organizers as well! You rock! 6y

Gissy I'm so happy you liked everything. I was stalking you all the time and you were adding books and I wanted to include different genres.I tried to understand also your tastes ?The only book that was not in your tbr is the one from García Márquez so I hope you like this one. The print and the tote are from Society6. @BookBabe @MrBook @Avanders #SecretSantaGoesPostal Enjoy your gifts. So happy that you liked them! 6y
Gissy Did you like Sabriel cover? It is the UK cover! 6y
Soubhiville @Gissy it‘s gorgeous! Also the description on the front is perfect: “She walks in Death with Sword and Bells.” Yes! 6y
Soubhiville @Gissy the Garcia Marquez sounds really good! I‘m looking forward to it! You nailed my tastes perfectly. I like a wide variety and you hit all my favorites! I plan to read the Backman first, since it‘s the season for it, and after that it‘s going to be so hard to choose. Thank you again! I hope you have a wonderful holiday ❤️ 6y
Gissy @Soubhiville Check the other book covers in the series from this edition, stunning! I mean I like these covers better than the old one. 6y
