I’ve been erratically posting to the Ten Things of Thankful blog for a while now, thankful that no one is keeping score!  And here is my current countdown:

1.  A restful Christmas vacation, much needed and much appreciated.

2.  Plans to repaint and redecorate our family room.  Since my dear teaching widower got to turn our living room into a home theater, I decided on a bear theme for this room. Martin Minkling and Rufus will have a new home.

3.  Some snow this winter! 

4.  A new puppet friend for social studies (and yes, you may ask about that).

5.  The first of a few new bear prints.  No pun intended.

6.  Relief that my dearest teaching widower and I both agreed to nix the bear eyes print below.  Caution: Extended viewing may lead to paranoia.

7.  Time to blog.  This will likely come to an end next Monday.

8.  No flu.

9.  A new REAL camera, with special thanks to Cee for her inspiration and help. I’m gonna be Cee one day!

10.  Good Karma, which is a delicious flaxseed “milk” with no added sugar and lots of protein.
