Things I am Thankful For

Amoung lots of things I am thankful for...this week it is:
1. A garage door opener. Our's quit working last weekend. It took a couple of days before Jason had time to fix it. Several days of lifting the door up and down manually makes you appreciate not having to back out, get out of the car, and into the snow to pull the door shut!

2. The weather high here yesterday was 18 degrees. Makes me SO thankful for this. If you think about people populating the earth for approximately 5000 years and having to deal with cold weather (in some parts) for that long...how lucky are we to live right now. Heat at the touch of a button has really only been available (commonly) for about 60 years. 60 years out of 5000!! How lucky are we!!!!!

I think about the heat thing constantly. Every time I'm hustling to my car from a store I think of the pioneers and how they had nowhere to get warm. I am uncomfortable for under one minute and I think I'm going to die from cold.
