I was chatting with my best friend (the one and only Lisa Garwood if you must know) recently about Christmas and how it really is a time to spend time with loved ones and celebrate what we’ve got, not lament what we don’t. 

It got me thinking about all the things in my life that I would miss if I didn’t have them; the every day reasons to be grateful.  I haven’t listed these in order by the way, just the way they came to me. 

Good friends
