I am grateful for bargains found at Goodwill. I was able to find a couple of items I needed for a fraction of the price! Now, I am the proud owner of two baby gates that will keep the dogs in one area, yet allow the cats to come and go as they please. Also, I was able to find a cat carrier. Now the kitties are settled, if we have to transport them.
The total came out to be about $13, much less than what one new baby gate would have cost me. Yes, I am indeed grateful for bargains found at second hand stores.

Day 62 - Weather Warnings
I am grateful for weather warning stations that tells us of what to expect and allow us to get prepared.
With temperatures going below freezing, it was imperative I fix up the rooms to accommodate the cats (they don't all get along; therefore, they have to be separated) so that I could bring in the dogs.
The temperature will rise again the next couple of days to plummet mid week to the single digits. Yikes!!!
I am grateful, though, that we have these weather predictions.
I hope that all those who do not have a permanent shelter will find a warm place to stay during this week, both humans and four legged creatures.

Day 61 - Leftovers
I am grateful for leftovers because it means I had plenty of food to eat in the past couple of days and because it means I don't have to cook!
I never had to suffer hunger and I cannot imagine what it means to go without food not by choice but by circumstance. I am grateful that I have always had something on the table. I have to admit that some times the food on the table was donated to me and at other times I was able to purchase. No matter how I was blessed with food, what is important is that I did have it to cook and eat.
In spite of the financial circumstance people are battling, I hope that this new year will see less people hungry because of the generosity of those who do have the opportunity to share.

Day 60 - A New Year
I am grateful for a new year. It is a new chapter in my life all ready to be written.
There is no past, only the present and future.
I am grateful for this opportunity to start new.
Of course, every day gives us the chance to start from scratch. Every day we can take it from there leaving the past behind. Somehow, though, it seems easier to do so when a whole new year begins.
So, I am taking this January 1, 2014 with a grateful heart and the determination to have a wonderful 2014.
I know I will have challenges, but those are there for my benefit. I can learn from them and become a better person for them.
May you all have a great 2014.
