Icy Weather Gratitude

Today in San Antonio, Texas, it is 30 degrees. The roads are iced over and we have a light rain. My back porch has a sheet of ice on it. The city is shut down, with major highways and bridges all closed. The children have had two holidays, one yesterday for Martin Luther King's birthday, and now again today because of hazardous conditions. I realize that in the northern states, this would be mild weather, but because it's so uncommon here, we are not equipped to drive with ice on the road.

What am I grateful for today? I'm grateful for the slower pace that the icy weather provides. I'm enjoying my extra day at home. By mutual agreement, my clients and I decided to play it safe and reschedule for later in the week.

I'm grateful for the hot chocolate and chicken soup that I can drink and eat while I spend this day indoors, in my cosy sweatsuit. I'm grateful for the extra day to get paperwork and billing done. I'm grateful for extra time to spend with my husband while it's cold outside.

What are you grateful for today? What can you do today while it's cold outside that you can be grateful for?
