Tomorrow evening I'm narrating our annual Nativity Experience where hundreds of people come to 'Bethlehem' to visit Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. Our planned 'baby Jesus' is poorly, but happily we had a second baby lined up and the 'show' will go on! So, I'm still counting my blessings. tchsmile
p.s. glad to hear what others are grateful for.

That we're staying at home for Christmas. The dogs won't have to go into kennels, we'll be sleeping in our own bed and there will be no long drive in horrible traffic/weather.

I can understand your relief ga!

We've had a trying few days one way and another but, today, I'm grateful that I still have my lovely DH. DD2's FIL died yesterday aged just 58. Also for the chance to see DD3 and DGD3 - I am so fortunate that they live close enough to be able to pop over. Added to which, I'm having lunch with DD1 tomorrow.

I'm definitely counting my blessings

That DH's horrendous eye infection is now responding to treatment. He's not easily rattled but I think it had him worried. Doc didn't know what could have caused it. So glad your s-i-l is home safe, grannya - hope you now have a relaxing run up to the festive season.

That the rash 10 month old DGS had yesterday turned out to be nothing serious. A worrying time last night.

My son in law's safe return from a 7 month deployment - I shall sleep better at night now.

For some time now I've been feeling very fragile as there are currently a number of worrying/upsetting family circumstances to be navigated. It has meant me being away from home on a regular basis to care for a relative (not my mother for those of you who have been following that particular saga) and I'm fairly tired out. So, I have given myself a little talking to and decided that instead of dwelling on the negatives I should be counting my blessings and having my son in law home safely is definitely that!

So, what in particular are you grateful for?
