- humorous books that used to make me helpless with laughter and still bring me a giggle.

Ahhh...yes. The wonderful world of books.
Grateful to the mamas (including mine), who regularly took their kiddos to the library. I passed the old library the other day, now a coffeehouse, and fondly remembered carrying a stack of books on my way out.

Grateful for all the special posts here today.
Grateful, too, for rediscovering reading in my sobriety. I always read before falling asleep, but when drinking I would never retain what I'd read. Finally, I gave up trying. (A couple times when I fell asleep while reading, a heavy book almost broke my nose.
I'm glad those wasteful days are over.)
Grateful to be ready for the big snow.

Grateful for my winter driving skills, as well. I'll be needing those skills this coming week. I am also hoping that my car cooperates, lol (crossing fingers).
