14. when it snows and the beauty of it
15. the luxury of Saturdays
16. getting together with good friends

Now I look forward to the Christmas and the season of advent. Christmas will be here before we know it. For me, it's important not to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays and to take time to reflect on the reason for the season.

It is nice to count your blessings like you did. When laid out like that you know that you have a lot to be thankful for. :) Actually...we all do.Congrats of finishing. I hope you keep going.
Loved reading each and every one of your blessings. You are very blessed indeed.
I feel very blessed with lots of those same exact blessings.
I answered your question on my blog.(more on my blog in comments section).
No having Christmas at Thanksgiving is not wierd. We love it that way.
Congratulations, Diana. I bet you could find blessings every day of the year.
Congratulations! That is quite an accomplishment. :-)
Hurray for making it all the way through the month. And what a wonderful list of blessings!
As far as the stolen TomTom goes, there was no forced entry that I was aware of. We must have left it unlocked one night and the thief helped themselves to it!
My days in November were blessed by reading each of your blessings.
I love advent and the holiday season. I'm so excited about having our family all together for Christmas.
The last couple of weeks have been extremely hectic and stressful, but now my calendar is clear except for a few special events at our church. I'm looking forward to some quiet days and candle lit evenings.
Congratulations on your success with everyday blogging. That was a great way to count blessings.
Diana, I have snow because they give it away free at Wordpress. :) I don't know if you can get it on Blogger or not.
