Month of Gratitude Day 22: Warmth

The wind howled all night last night, and is expected to start up again tonight.  I was thinking last night how wonderful it is to be safe and warm inside my house, to have a warm comfortable bed and a furnace that turns on all by itself.  We even have a lovely little gas fireplace we can turn on when we're feeling chilly.  Then today when I got home from the hike I had a nice hot shower.  I told Bryce last night that if we plucked a pioneer off the trail and brought them forward in time into our warm house, it wouldn't be the computer or fancy technology they'd be most impressed with, it would be hot running water and warm air being blown out of vents in the floor.  I'm grateful for warmth.
