365 Grateful 1/3/14

I got a late start today. I kind of dreaded getting any closer to the snow and cold then my view from the kitchen window. But it was inevitable that a snow day held responsibilities of snowballs and shoveling out. Joe was tied up with work calls all morning and wouldn't be able to get out till much later in the afternoon, when the midday sun would have glazed a thick layer of ice over the topmost coat, making shoveling even harder.It made sense for me to get a start on it before that happened. I reluctantly layered Dylan up in the absurd amount of layers only possible by an overly paranoid Italian mom, put on some snow gear and made my way out, ready to take on the snow. What I found outside was just beautiful. One of my neighbors had plowed out my entire driveway and my other neighbors  shoveled the walks and cleaned off my car. They continued to do the same for other neighbors. I am grateful for these wonderful people I get to share a block with. For their kindness,thoughtfulness and giving spirits. Our house sits on a lucky stretch of land between good people.
