Wishing you a beautiful week full of little things that make you smile.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday! We aren´t quite as cold as you guys are but we´re pretty cold here, too, with temps that feel in the negative and NO SCHOOL today due to a combination (I guess?) of cold and snow from a storm on Saturday. I, too, am grateful for a warm and cozy home. Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteThank you God for heating our homes for sure here in the midwest. We are climbing some and getting out of the single digits this week. Maybe even 40 by Wednesday so that will feel great. Stay warm and cozy. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteIt is cold here in Alabama, too, but not as cold as -15! Our low last night was in the upper teens which is brrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday Carla. My brother's birthday was on the 12th. Great people are born on that day. These are some great reminders of the goodness all around us.
ReplyDeleteAll good reminders for each day, all throughout the year! Yum on the hot chocolate after a very cold walk! Happy Birthday, Carla. May you this new year for you, be a blessing to yourself and to others. 😘
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, ❤️ dear friend. I hope your birthday 🎂 was great.
ReplyDeleteWow, 15 degrees, that IS cold. I know you must be so thankful for the heat during this time. We are also having very cold days, so all the heaters are turned on at this point. And you got snow! Hot cocoa is so wonderful on a cold day. Happy Birthday to you, dear friend, and it just makes sense that you were born in December, that very special month.
