3. Warm ocean air

Honestly, I am floored. I need to do this every day. What a change! I realize that I am most grateful for my environment and of course spending time with my family. Everyday I am grateful for Jeff, Lea, and my health, the money we have to support our life, and all the love I get from Jeff. However, I thought it would be more interesting to acknowledge something new each day and not repeat myself.
