On this cold beautiful day I am rejoicing in the life we have!  We just completed the Laura Ingalls Wilder series which talks about the difficult pioneer life.  Even though many of us are affected by the hard financial times we are having it is nothing compared to the challenges the early settlers faced.  I am reminded of the bounty we now enjoy and how little we really need. 

Have a thankful heart and your outlook on each day will be dramatically changed.
