Feeling the need for a lighter, non-polical post

So, for those of you in the throes of winter's frosty grasp, or in our cases, rainy grasp, what are five things you love about winter? I'll get you started:

1. Snow. Really. I love it. Even when I lived in the North. Although if i lived in Alaska I might change my mind...but I digress.
2. The birds at my feeders - titmouse, cardinals, bluejays, juncos, sparrows, and that other bird I only saw once and can't identify.
3. Hot chocolate
4. Jeans and sweaters
5. Christmas, or, if that doesn't count Valentine's Day.

See. That was easy. Your turn.

Snow day!

Five things to do this weekend

1. Pray for snow. (I know some of you are praying for the snow to melt, but you can pray for God to send it to me instead. Besides were looking at an ice storm, and snow is so much better!)
2. Write a thank you note, not for an actual gift received, but for someone's time, friendship, or service to you. Write the thank you note that doesn't have to be written, to the person in your life that has really encouraged you. If you're really stumped, try starting with your church pianist, janitor, or secretary.
3. Oganize your recipes. If you're anything like me, you have a lot of recipes that sounded great, got clipped out and stuck in a folder, and may never get used becuase you can't find the right one at the right time.
4. Pick up some eyedrops at the pharmacy. Yep, this is a prayer request, Brian has infection in his eyes again. Please pray that it clears up fast!
5. Fill your bird feeders.
