I was walking home last night and the snow was falling just so and it was warm enough so I couldn't see my breath and everything was quiet. So I put "have yourself a merry little Christmas" by Judy garland on my speakerphone and walked home in peace.
I'm grateful for quiet moments and for my dear husband waiting to welcome me home. I'm grateful for my calling and all the women that involves. I'm grateful for my old roommates and their zest for life. I'm grateful for my job and the stability it provides for us. I'm grateful for our tiny apartment that we get to look back at with fondness. I'm grateful for my family and their fortitude even when life is hard. I'm grateful for my siblings serving missions. I'm grateful for my siblings not serving missions. I'm grateful that some day we get to serve a mission together. I'm grateful for tv shows that make me feel so much it seeps out of my eyes. I'm grateful for coworkers that give me puzzles. I'm grateful for overtime and the fact that I get to leave work early tomorrow. I'm grateful for a lot of things, think about what you're grateful for and hold on to it. Some day winter will end and the sunlight will bring us hope and joy (then sadness and grouchiness in my case) and we'll seek adventures and grow and learn and be great. Until then we endure the winter.
