Gee, why can’t my grocery shopping experience be this fun?!  Need  a good laugh?  Check out Grocery Store Musical on YouTube.

Right now, I can see my breath.  My fingers are little slivers of ice.  I’ve got the dog in my lap for warmth as I try to work and not concentrate on how cold it is in my house.

Our heater broke yesterday and the repairman can’t come until today, so we spent a chilly day and evening shivering away.  I’ve told my daughter that we’re spending 24 hours learning what it’s like to go without heat which is a sad reality for many people in America.  “I don’t like this game,” she responded this morning.

I can’t say I do either, but I’m so grateful we have the choice of how high to turn on our heat and that we only have to suffer one day without.  What a lesson in compassion for others.  Plus, I’ve never seen our daughter quite so anxious to go to school just to get warm!
