Wolfpeople: Thankful Thursday | I just want to build a fire with you, and I promise I'll never grow tired of you

I Am Grateful:

for my co-worker Erica's homemade Christmas cookies (especially the apricot thumbprints).
for heavy, smooth-writing pens.
for Why Oh Why.
for that house on High House Road, ALL lit up, and that we found it while driving a round about way home to avoid traffic.
that my hands are always cool and Wolfman's are always warm and that makes us a perfect match.
when Mads asks me to snuggle his toy dragon before bed.
for Ms. Carolyn D., my customer one day, who reminds me to be thankful, always, and hugs me before she leaves the store.
for minty toothpaste that burns my tongue.
for our recliner that Grandma falls asleep in after Christmas lunch, in a full recline, while Return of the King plays.
for Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn.
to climb into a warm bed at night next to my already sleeping husband.
for my son's energy, even when it feels like too much.
for Christmas movies that admit to how not great Christmas can be, how not great families can be, and how not great people can be.
for headlights in the fog.
for our lady betas, named by Mads: Blue and Red--for their beauty, for their differing personalities, that their care is the first step in teaching my son responsibility and stewardship.
for coconut oil.
