December 16 {Thankful #16}

{ Blog 25 days of being Thankful..... this as a way of staying focused on the good , happy and pleasing moments....

it's a way of acknowledging all that we take for granted, all that we sometimes overlook as we let busyness take over.}

I am thankful for "plans to guide you through a day"....

The Plan for today......

CLEAN HOUSE.......

OK KIDS WE ARE ALL CLEANING HOUSE!!!!

Hmmm lets see how we went.....

1. Visit the gym   - check
2. Drop hubby off at work - check
3. Do the weekly grocery shopping  - check
4. Finish writing and addressing Christmas cards - check
5. Post the said cards - check
6. Choose beautiful gifts for new nephew - check
7. A must visit and cuddle with new nephew - check
8. Pick hubby up from work - check
9. Make a meal for an unwell friend - check

Now lets see what have I forgotten.........

OH YEAH....CLEAN HOUSE !

ooops there is always tomorrow!:-)

I am a bit old fashioned when it comes to Christmas communication....

I don't give out cards to those I see on a daily or weekly basis.

I save my cards for those who I hardly see in a year  or those who live in far flung countries....

So I  begin by writing a letter of the year that was.....

snap a photo of the kids,

and no fancy homemade cards just a cute pre -printed one

and then off they go......

I love getting "newsy" cards and letters at Christmas time....I am a bit sad when it is just a "to from...."

So at least that is a job ticked off my to do list before the "big day"

Now about that Cleaning !!!!!!
