Today I’m joining with Wooly Moss Roots to celebrate Gratitude Sunday.
It’s the time of year when people start counting down the days until spring. I begin hearing a lot of complaining about the cold, the snow, and winter in general.
I understand. It definitely will be nice to feel warmth, wear sandals, and get into the car without scraping off ice.

Recently, I received a request to take a look at a new virtual magazine called deliberateLIFE. I wasn’t sure whether I should accept or not as I already have plenty on my plate at the moment, but when I went to the website and found their manifesto, I decided it was worth a try.
