Lent and gratitude

This was supposed to have been posted on Ash Wednesday, but my phone didn't upload it.  This is why the first and second post seem backwards!

A friend texted me today and asked if I was doing anything for Lent. She’s a lapsed Catholic and I’m not religious at all, but it seemed like a good time to focus on some goodness. 

So, we decided to share 40 days of gratitude. Which I will also share here. 

And to start, I am grateful for this snow and the cold that is keeping it here.  The joy of sledding is infectious. It’s beautiful and active and fun and laughter-filled. And I’m so grateful for this week of a real, beautiful winter. What a gift and how lucky am I to share it with some of my nearest and dearest.
