A List of Gratefulness
This morning, Penelope Illustration posted a list of ten things for which she is grateful and prefaced it with this description:
"I started doing this a long time ago, now. When you need
a pick-me-up, you write down 10 things you are grateful for
right off the top of your head. Don't think too much about
it. Just write them."
- bus shelters that don't leak on rainy days
- warm parkas with big pockets
- my new moleskine pocket planner
- programmable coffee makers and Beethoven's Blend
- the music of Randy Newman ("I Think it's Going to Rain Today" is apropos)
- a book that makes me laugh
- text messages that make me smile
- movies like Finding Neverland
- the word perspicacity
- chipmunks (because someone ought to be grateful for them)

from another blogger Cooking w/ Amy: Starbucks has just introduced a new super decadent hot chocolate called Chantico, named after the Aztec goddess of hearth and fire. A 6-ounce cup has 390 calories, 21 grams of fat and 51 carbs, so this stuff is a lot like "liquid dessert". Chantico made it's premiere in stores today but on January 13th from 4-5 p.m. Starbucks will be sampling this cup of sin.
Thanks for the heads up, Arlene. :) Hmm... maybe I can sneak away for fifteen minutes this afternoon and try a cup. :P If you sample some, let me know what you think.
