Maybe it's being so far from home for the holidays again this year that it doesn't feel like the holidays yet to me.
But it also seems to me this time of year, when we pause a moment to be thankful for what we have, that I don't have to pause that long because I'm thankful for these things all year long.
That said, I concocted a new idea over the weekend, that each Monday, to go with Monday Motivation, I'll include five things. Five things I'm happy about from the last week, and/or five things I'm looking forward to this coming week. Honestly, I might move this post to another day during the week, but we'll see how it goes first.

Five Things
1. A three-day weekend since I got to take a Sunday off for the first time in a few months. It's amazing what you can get done with an extra day, and still have time to relax.
2. Finding a set of cheap, small, simple earrings for just $5. I've been looking for them for months, just some small pearls, silver balls and fake diamonds. I have lost one of every pair of the diamonds I had and most of my pearls broke. Those are the earrings I wear most and for $5, seemed totally acceptable to be so excited about it.
3. Peppermint flavored eggnog. Little weird. Little awesome.
4. Grover-pup decided to run after a rabbit and deer yesterday and made it probably five or six miles from the house. I'm just glad he made it back in one piece, though I doubt he learned any lessons.
5. Finding the kind of chicken that we want to get in the spring and getting wildly excited about building a chicken coop and greenhouse.
What about you? What are your five things?
