This past year I got a lovely gift. It was a shot glass from Deer Valley, and it was made of my favorite colors — my wedding colors 🙂 Red and black.
It meant a lot to me that my tight-wad family members knew this was a treat for me. I have a tradition which might be turning into a family tradition of celebrating every three inches of a snowfall with a shot of Drambuie.
Three of my kids work at Deer Valley, and last winter I tried my hand at skiing there. So I know the trails. It’s a special place to me.
Now I decided to get a shot glass for the place where I live part of the time. Another place close to my heart. So now Chris can join me in my shots and we can each have glasses that remind us of how blessed we are.
**For the month of November each year, I try to focus on something I’m thankful for each day. It is the month that holds Thanksgiving where I live, after all. Focusing on the positive and remembering the little things that make life great are things I should do more often. Last year I found that writing every day during the holiday time got a bit stressful. So this year I’m writing throughout the year and scheduling the posts to go out in November.
