248. Today I am grateful to have made it through my first winter driving experience successfully

I think the snow is finally 100% gone! Driving in the snow has been a new experience for me and although it was scary at times.... I made it without any injury to me and only minor damage to my car, which was repaired, when I was rear-ended. You can read about my first winter driving experience here.

247. Today I am grateful to be a Christian

I have written several posts about my gratitude to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Along with people recognizing me as Latter-day Saint, LDS, or Mormon I am also grateful to be a Christian and for those who recognize and refer to me as a Christian. To me being Christian declares my desire to follow Christ and serve as he did and love as he does.  

246. Today I am grateful for the freezer

I also need to add the Freezer for keeping food preserved for even longer. It also allows me to enjoy yummy cold “food” like ice cream. I also enjoy making casseroles and lasagna and then freezing them into individual portions to reheat in the microwave on busy nights.

245. Today I am grateful for a refrigerator

I will continue my gratitude for appliances with the refrigerator which I am grateful to have to preserve perishable foods.

244. Today I am grateful for microwave ovens

I am also grateful for microwave ovens to defrost, reheat, prep and cook foods quickly. What a great convenience tool. Just to make me feel old I will share that I remember going to Costco with my parents to buy our very first microwave oven.  

243. Today I am grateful for an oven

I am grateful for ovens to bake and cook food.

242. I am grateful for the opportunity to vote

Alberta had their provincial election yesterday and I am grateful that I took the opportunity to vote. I am grateful that I have an opportunity to decide for myself what I value and what party I want to vote for.
