TOP 10

Since I have had a rough week, I am going to turn this ship around and - gosh darn it - be happy! Even if it kills me! 8 days is way too long for one person to mope.

Here are 10 things I am thankful for:

• Mr. Walker - He always sees the glass 1/2 full. (odd. I always see it 1/2 empty)
• 2 girls + 1 boy - I love them to the moon and back! Even if the three of them are solely responsible for EVERY gray hair on this head. The gray I just paid a small fortune to hide from the rest of the world!
• My home - Dream home, money pit, work in progress. Whatever I call it, it's home sweet home.
• My brothers - I wouldn't own a computer (not a working one) if it wasn't for them. We share a past I will treasure forever.
• My parents - They always support me and this crazy life of mine. Dad can always makes me laugh! Mom's cooking is incredible. (I feel an invite about now!)
• My Sisters'-in-law - They are my sisters.
• All my nieces & nephews - There was a time when Christmas at Grandma's was way too quiet. No more! Much noise now! The cousins add lots of spirit to our family.
• My health - I can walk. I can breath. I can see. OK. I can't see close up so much anymore (something about 40...) but I am trying out these bi-focal contacts. I am so not impressed!
• My friends - They color my world with lots of sunshine & words of wisdom.
• My job - My bosses have been so accommodating for 12 years. They have put up with me through so much. Even when I quit once or twice (or was it three times???)

I think I'm feeling better already!
