It's Wednesday and I am Grateful to have arrived safely back in Canada. The drive back from Florida took about 26 hours, and it was a little icy and dicey, but we arrived alive and happy. I really appreciated the time to disconnect a bit from my usual routine, and get into a holiday mode. We had some wonderful Christmas Celebrations with family and friends, then left for Florida to celebrate the New Year with by BIL and SIL at their new condo. They were very kind to invite us to share in their joy, as they just bought it recently in September. The condo is situated on a small lake, so I was able to do some bird watching, and get some great shots of egrets, herons and cranes I will be posting. The weather was mostly good. I am really happy to be back home, but it was nice to have a change of scenery.

How have You been, and what are You Grateful for in this New Year? Happy 2009!!!!!!!

Love,
Beach
