365 grateful project 1/7/14

I hate the cold, every cell in my body feels offended when the thermostat goes below freezing. I come from Southern Italian stock my Mediterranean blood is impatient all winter. I count days till March because at least in March you feel like there is hope. I usually fall off a cliff in February the most insidious of all the winter months. But its not February yet, this was not supposed to happen! 4 degrees 4 freekin degrees today and that's before you factor in the bleeping wind chill. So Here I am a month before I was willing to truly give up, here I am ready to surrender to winter. You have won. I am defeated. Today I am grateful for my cars heater. It gave me the ability to get my kids to school in relative comfort. It gave me some peace to know that even though winter sent me a knockout punch my heater kept it from kicking me when I was down.
